​Mamie's School of Dance

Class Descriptions ...

​



​Ballet 
Ages 4-19.  The core of all dance training!  Ballet is a classical style of dance with the main focus on technique, poise and grace.  Pointe is encouraged but not required for older, more advanced students.

 

 

 

 

 

 



​Tap
Ages 4-19.  A rythmic class  focusing on counting music.  The metal "taps" stike the floor to make sounds that compliment the music, teaching the students to recognize beats and specific rythems.

Jazz
Ages 6-19.  A high energy class with an emphasis on flexability and core development. Leaps, turns, combinations and up-beat music provide an atmosphere where learning is fun.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​Clogging
Ages 6-19.  Clogging is our signature style!  We take traditional steps to a new level through modern music and choreography.  Rythem is taught, stamina is developed, and a new love is quickly born. Double "taps" on the shoes make for a noisy but energetic class!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



​Lyrical
Ages 9-19.  We only offer Lyrical classes to those students already enrolled in a ballet class.  Ballet technique is the basis for students to accomplish lyrical moves.  This class uses dance movements and emotions to interpret the lyrics of a song.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



​Hip Hop
Ages 6-19.  Students taking Hip Hop must also be enrolled in a jazz class.  We consider Hip Hop to be an extension of jazz tachnique, offering a much stronger style of dance moves and music.  It is imperative at our studio that lyrics, moves, and costumes be clean and age appropriate for all Hip Hop classes.
