Creative Movement

Picture
This class is for our youngest stars; students can begin at 18 months.  During this 45-minute class, dancers will explore a variety of movement styles and participate in fun engaging activities.  Students will learn musicality and some dance basics.


Pre-School Combo

Picture
This hour-long class is specifically designed for preschoolers. The class emphasizes tap and ballet technique with students learning a dance in each style to perform in the annual spring recital. The class also includes tumbling, public speaking, singing, some jazz and hip-hop, and much more. The goal is to make each student love to dance while learning the basics. We want each child to have FUN at dance class.
Level I- for new dancers ages 3 or 4
Level II- Is open to 4 year-olds with experience (such at previous enrollment in Preschool Combo I) or young 5 year old beginners.

Pre-School Jazz/Hip Hop

This class is open as an additional class for dancers enrolled in Preschool Combo II. It is a 45-minute class structured with age appropriate hip-hop and jazz dance moves.  The class uses up-beat music and builds off of the basic music counting skills and technique learned in ballet & tap. 

Ballet

Picture
A classical form of dance that is considered by many to be the core foundation for a great dance education.  Dancers wear ballet slippers and a leotard and tights to class.  We offer options for beginners through advanced levels including a pre-professional program, under the direction of Ballet Mistress Fiona Fairrie.  Enrollment in this highly perfected technical program is by audition only

Lyrical

 A cross between ballet and jazz with some story telling in the mix.  Lyrical is a beautiful dance style, which requires some basic technique to be most rewarding.  It is geared to dancers who have some  experience.

Jazz

Picture
Fun and exciting with a bit a style thrown in the mix, this dance form is for anyone who likes to move.  Students can we wear a leotard and tights to class along with jazz shoes.  The class also includes stretching and quick moving choreography. 


Tap

Characterized by the sounds made by the metal taps on the shoes, tap dancing is a great way to help learn the rhythm of the music.  Classes use upbeat dance music from current performers and some classics too.  West Cobb Dance Center prides itself in offering top-notch training for tap dancers in the area.

Hip-Hop

Picture
If you’ve seen a music video, you’ve likely seen Hip-Hop in action.  Fast moving, with unique popping motions and a chance for dancers to create a style all their own, this dance form is a lot of fun watch and perform.  Dancers can where sneakers to class and any clothing that allows them to move well

Contemporary

With roots in Modern dance and ballet, this style is for a more experienced dancer wishing to push themselves to think out to the box.  Improvisation is a component of the class as is dancing as is learning to move in seemingly unstructured format.

Boys

All of our classes are open to boys as well as girls.  Dancing helps with learning to count music and to be physically active.  Parents of boys also often remark that dance lessons help in sports.  We really encourage anyone interested to try out a class.  As an added bonus, all male students receive half price tuition.
