Jazz will get your dancer moving, stretching and jumping for a well rounded and energetic class! Dancers are introduced to the fundamentals of Jazz with a focus on flexibility, strength, technique and style while listening to their favourite upbeat music.

Acro dance incorporates acrobatic movements into dance! Similar to gymnastics; these classes are designed to develop strength, flexibility, control and balance of the body. Students are spotted by trained instructors, so they can safely develop their skills.
