Modern dance is a contemporary dance form that has its roots in ballet. Classes include floor and center work that incorporate the use of gravity and a sense of weightedness in the body, on top of technique work. The movement vocabulary and range of motion used is endless and creative, and draws on each student’s personal expression. Classes may include improvisation and creative exercises.

Tap focuses on rhythms and intricate footwork, creating a percussion instrument out of the dancer’s feet. Just like jazz vocalists who add rhythms to music by scatting, tappers add their voice by “scatting” with their feet. Classes emphasize the development and strengthening of basic tap technique and terminology, highlighting the importance of rhythm and sound.
