Coastal Dance Academy Classes

  • Ballet/Pointe.

    Ballet is a graceful dance form set to music, characterized by precise and formalized steps and movements. It blends traditional poses with elegant, flowing figures like leaps and turns. As the cornerstone of all dance styles, ballet serves as the essential foundation for many other forms of dance.

    Pointe, a specialized branch of ballet, involves dancing on the tips of the toes using specific pointe shoes. This style focuses on developing strength in the feet, ankles, legs, and core. Before starting a pointe class, you’ll need to be evaluated by Miss Megan or your ballet teacher to ensure readiness.

  • Hip Hop.

    Commercial dance, often showcased in music videos and live award shows, features sharp, grounded movements set to upbeat pop music. This style focuses on delivering powerful and stylish performances, while always being age-appropriate. We offer Hip Hop classes weekly for all ages and skill levels.

  • Tap.

    Tap dance focuses on creating rhythms and sounds through intricate footwork. We offer tap classes weekly for our combo class kids and provide additional tap workshops for our older dancers each month.

  • Jazz.

    This dance style features strong, sharp movements set to upbeat music, with a focus on technique, flexibility, and strength. We include this style in both our technique and movement classes each week.

  • Lyrical/Contemporary.

    Lyrical dance blends ballet, jazz, and contemporary techniques into a modern style that uses slow-tempo music to tell compelling stories. This style places a strong emphasis on technique, control, and emotional expression. We feature lyrical dance in both our movement and technique classes each week.

  • Acro.

    Acro combines dance technique with athleticism, agility, gymnastics, and strength, integrating acrobatic skills smoothly into dance routines. We offer three levels of Acro classes each week.

  • Technique.

    Technique classes are aimed at enhancing dancers' technical skills, abilities, and overall performance quality. We concentrate on perfecting leaps, turns, strength, and flexibility, and include across-the-floor progressions to build and refine these skills.
