Recreational Dance

Twinkle Star Dance is  a curriculum with an age specific 60 minute class containing Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Acrobatics.

The purpose of the class is to introduce young dancers to the four styles of dance and inspire movement and creativity within a positive environment. Dancers also learn basic steps and terminology in all four styles.

The use of fun, age appropriate music engages the young dancers’ minds and bodies. The use of props such as hula hoops, teddy bears and colorful parachutes, makes the class the most fun!

Our Twinkle Star ages 4-6 Dance is a curriculum with an age specific 60 minute class containing either a Tap-Ballet Combination class , Jazz-Acrobatics Combination class or an hour class of Acrobatics.  The majority of our Show Star Petite students participate in two classes for a well-rounded curriculum.

The purpose of the combination classes is to introduce young dancers to the four styles of dance and inspire movement and creativity within a positive environment. Dancers continue to learn basic steps and terminology in all four styles of dance and build upon what they have learned if they have danced prior. Some of our Acrobatic lovers prefer to add the one hour Acrobatic class.

The use of fun, age appropriate music engages the young dancers’ minds and bodies. The use of props such as hula hoops, teddy bears and colorful parachutes, makes the class the most fun!

Our Show Star Recreational classes are all one hour in length per genre and are grouped by the ages listed above and offered in the following genres below:

Jazz class incorporates the elements of Ballet and Modern dance set to popular music and includes stretches, isolations, turns, jumps, leaps and choreographed combinations as well as the development of style. Lyrical is a style of Jazz that has been fused with Ballet and encourages artistic expression and emotional content while building grace and fluidity. Contemporary draws on modern dance techniques while balancing lyricism, fluidity and athleticism. This popular dance style is concerned with concept and theme and emotional content. Ballet class combines grace, line and beauty to provide the technical foundation for all dance forms. Acrobatics and Tumbling teaches floor gymnastics which can be incorporated into dance. Tumbling class focuses on the aerial and tumbling aspect of Acrobatics such as learning back handspring, aerials and much more. Tap class blends Coordination and Rhythm into a fun and timeless Dance form. Hip Hop mixes Funk and Street Dance styles to create fun and freestyle movement. Dancers have lots of fun wearing comfortable clothes and jamming to the beat.
