* Hip Hop Junior - for children 6 - 11 years old

* A fun, funky way to get a good work out & practice some cool moves!

 

* After starting out as a rebellion against the "rigidity" and "stuffiness" of Ballet over one hundred years ago, Modern has never stopped evolving and changing - even embracing some Ballet techniques back into it!

* Did you know today's Jazz and Lyrical technique took their ideas from Modern Dance and Ballet? The Jazz technique pioneers from the 50's, 60's were originally Modern and Ballet trained dancers that incorporated both techniques and added a 'jazzy' style to them.

* Modern / Contemporary takes natural movements and blends with aspects of ballet and any other dance form or movement to create an eclectic dance form of its own.

* Danced in bare feet with lots of movement in the spine.

* Uses the floor with "fall and recovery" concept.

* Technical, unique, challenging - a dance form for today! It can now be seen on, and has been popularized by today's dance TV shows.

 

 

* Traditionally, modern or contemporary dance has only been taught at the college or university level. However, after studying with an international Modern and Hip Hop teaching / examining organization, Barefoot Dance is proud to offer classes in Contemporary / Modern starting at age 6.

 

* Encompasses posture, grace, and poise in a disciplined and structured manner.

* Helps develop coordination, strength, and flexibility.

* Whether part of serious study alone or recreationally, ballet technique enhances any other form of physical activity or dance form. Classes for children, teens, adults.

* Ballet examinations are available to interested students.

 

* Adult Dance Combo classes may include Ballet, Jazz, and Contemporary / Modern, as requested.

* Aims to help individuals develop strength, flexibility, coordination, and posture while having fun!

* Barefoot Dance is proud to have a small group of very talented and dedicated adults that have performed, entered competitions, and very successfully completed Ballet exams at an intermediate level! They have fun, but also have a goal to work towards.

* It's never to late to start dancing!
