We watch them celebrate their accomplishments and those of others and weather their disappointments with honesty and dignity. “An arts education is part of what it means to be an “educated person,” a critical and analytical learner, a confident decision maker, a problem solver and an imaginative and creative thinker.” Contact us at: 608.873.0717 scpa@chorus.net Dance Resume: 
Pre-Ballet (3 & 4 year olds)
Designed for the beginner, this class is a fun way to learn the fundamentals of dance on which your student will build their skills. Students will learn terminology, discipline, timing, rhythm, and movement as well as how to work with a group which is essential for team performance later on. Ballet
A theatrical art form using dance in which fixed poses and steps are combined with light, flowing movement to convey a story. Ballet is the foundation of all artistic dance. This class teaches proper body alignment and position, fluid transition between positions of arms, legs, and feet, timing, and attention to technical detail that will enhance the students success as a accomplished performer. 
Point For the advanced ballet student, Pointe is the ultimate expression of artistic dance performed on the toes in Pointe shoes. Students may advance to pointe after developing sufficient strength in their feet, backs, and legs. Placement is by faculty recommendation only.
Pointe Technique
Focusing more intensely on the basics, technique helps the student work on their particular weakness and improve on their strengths.
Lyrical A blend of many disciplines, ballet, jazz, and modern, Lyrical is a story without words. A Lyrical dancer uses facial expression and body movement to convey the emotions they experience as they listen to words of the music they interpret. It is the expression of those feelings through dance that makes Lyrical dance poetic and powerful. The dancer is the story.
Modern
Developed in the early 20th century, modern dance, like modern art, is experimental. It strives to set itself apart from the rigid formality of ballet and emphasizes the use of the body to express moods, feelings, and ideas. While ballet dancers seem to defy gravity, modern dancers seem unable to avoid it. Modern dance develops strength, stamina, body confidence, self-discipline, and an understanding of line, movement, rhythm, and spatial relationships with other dancers. Jazz Unlike Ballet and Lyrical, Jazz is hard to define, encompassing many different styles with a common root. The main features of Jazz music are syncopation, improvisation, and individual style. The same is true of Jazz dance. The freedom to express the music personally is what gives this style its' appeal. 
Tap
Taps is a dance style using the toes and heels to create percussive rhythms. Sharing the same roots as Irish Clog Dancing, Tap arose out of the black slave culture. Originally used as a form of communication, tap quickly evolved into an entertainment, now one of the most popular styles of dance in the world. Endurance, co-ordination, and speed (some dancers can tap more than 70 times in fifteen seconds) are the hallmarks of Tap.
Theatrical Dance
The most American of all dance, Theatrical Dance is the style of musical theater and Broadway. Borrowing from Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, and Modern, Theatrical Dance is as much a melting pot as the country from which it originated It is
Poms
Similar to competitive dance team
High energy, sharp routines
Kickline
Leaps, jumps and turns
Hip Hop
Hip hop dance refers to dance styles, mainly street dance styles, primarily danced to hip hop music, or that have evolved as a part of the hip hop culture.Many funk dance styles that originally evolved separately from hip hop, such as popping and locking, started to be incorporated with the hip hop culture as well, and could be seen combined with breakdance.Today, many of the old school styles are as alive as ever, and can be seen at dance clubs, competitions and in the media, commonly used in popular music videos.
