Some concepts taught are stretching the foot, balancing, jumping, leg and arm coordination, and moving across the floor. We offer classes for dancers aged 2½ only, aged 3 only, ages 4-5 and ages 5-6 in our creative movement program.

Tot Combo (Ages 4-5)

Level I through VII
Ballet classes are carefully graded as each student learns the syllabus. Students are always placed in class according to physical development, stamina, and self discipline. Classes progress to Pointe work, variations and pas de deux, and potential membership in Little Ballet Theatre. The American Academy of Ballet syllabus is taught in graded levels to students in these levels.

Jazz/Lyrical
We will have beginning to advanced jazz classes for all ages from 6 and up. Technique is taught by a graded system to ensure progression. Styles are varied, Broadway, Contemporary and Las Vegas.

Tap
Using a graded syllabus of instruction Level 1 to 8, progressing from beginner to advanced. Ballet training is an integral partner. Rhythm, Free-style, and Vaudeville styles are taught.

Hip Hop (Ages 6-adult)
Hip Hop is a fast high-energy class in which dancers will learn to move to upbeat contemporary music. Hip Hop students focus on balance, coordination, and learning to isolate parts of the body in a new way. Dancing seen in music videos for artists such as Janet Jackson, Brittany Spears,or N’Sync are all examples of the hip-hop style students will learn. Hip Hop is also great exercise, and lots of fun!

Modern
A form of theatrical dancing that can be traced as beginning in the 1900’s. It uses ballet technique, use of fall recovery, contraction, release, locomotor movements, movements that convey a message or tell a story, use of irregular meter, music, sounds, electronic music and contemporary music, use of multimedia and poetry. The dancer used bare feet or sandals. Most professional ballet dancers are trained in modern, today choreographers combine ballet with modern technique for many of their works. Placement is upon approval of the director.

Musical Theater
Each class will focus on the kind of dancing used in theatrical staging, acting basics, and “character acting” through dance. Dancers will learn pieces of several “mini-musicals” centering on show tunes from America’s best-loved musicals, including “Cats,” West Side Story,” and “Oliver.” Dancers will also learn theater terminology as well as the history of Broadway and musical theater in America. Dancers in these classes also need training in Ballet and Jazz. Placement is upon approval of the director.

Acrobatics
Acrobatics is the dance form of tumbling, with balancing, and flexibility, such as in the acts of Cirque de Soleil. Maddox Dance Studio is safety certified by USA gymnastics. Training teaches flexibility, balance, strength, muscle control, discipline and concentration. In acrobatic dance, you add elements of dance from ballet, jazz, hip-hop and even tap! Our instructor, Miss Alice, was a student of the late Dene Dalgren, who taught at Maddox Dance Studio in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Dene Dalgren was an amazing acrobat who combined dance with creation feats of balance and flexibility, unlike any other. The acrobatic class enrollment is limited and will only be accessible by audition.
