introduction to dance & Movement
Introduction to dance and movement is where we begin to establish the foundations of basic body knowledge, spatial awareness and social interactions. As well as the foundation of our ability to recognize rhythms, patterns and feel the music. Our introduction to dance & movement classes will be offered for our Pre A & Pre B levels.

Hip Hop & Breaking
Recognizing that Breaking & Hip Hop are two different styles, they have some overlap. Breaking is one of the main elements of Hip Hop, featuring more acrobatic and floor movements. Hip Hop is a more round term that encompasses various styles, breaking, locking, popping, and usually performed more upright, showcasing the rhythm and flows, each will be offered and encouraged at Halcyon Dance Studio. There will also be opportunities for separate rehearsals for battles.

Technical jazz classes focus on strengthening one’s core, enhancing one’s flexibility and isolated movements. The classes are high-energy and will help you develop your precision, stronger and more powerful jumps as well as proper alignment for intense turning combinations. Jazz is sharp, fun and fast paced.
