Married Couples are encouraged to attend, but singles are also welcome as well as mother/daughter, brother/sister, etc.

Modern/Contemporary 

Modern dance is not an exact term. It was invented as a name for serious-theatrical-dance-that-is-not-ballet...though there are many different techniques that fall under the category of Modern Dance, and most are (at least loosely) based on ballet.  At its best, it celebrates the joy and revels in the truth of physical expression. Modern dance is often about experiment; it is about pushing the limits (or not), and it is definitely about discovering new ways of using music and sound in relation to movement.

Swing

(Partner 50's Style)

Learning the fun, partner-style dancing that was popularized in the 1950's. Will include such dance styles as the Lindy Hop, Charleston, Eastern Swing, Jive and Rock 'n Roll.

Lyrical

(Free Form)

a fusion of ballet, jazz, and modern, & Contemporary. It is a great place for students to begin to grow in their artistry and use the other techniques as a spring board to let go and just dance. It will also help to let go with abandonment in worshipping freely to the Lord with challenging choreography to contemporary Christian worship music.

Boys

(Dance Movement)

Dancing is a wonderful form of expression. Boys are full of energy and masculinity. This class combines these two natural instincts into a fun, choreographed and energetic expression that boys can enjoy!

Private Instruction

(In all Subjects)

Private instruction is the best way to improve your skills and insure conceptual retention as well as confidence! Private classes can catapult a student into new levels much faster than taking group lessons.

Pas de Deux

(Partner & Lifts)

Meaning dance for two, Pas de Deux is a duet in which dance steps are performed together. It usually consists of dancers assisting one another with lifts and balancing steps that require strength and confidence in your partner.

Voice

Integrated

(Special Needs)

ARTS welcomes all special needs students and works at a level that is comprehensible and enjoyable for students with special mental and physical needs. We would like to expand this program as the Lord brings in different age groups with different hindrances that can be overcome with our Creative God. All can be taught to express themselves and worship with “their whole body” in their own way.
