Adult Class Descriptions

Ballet Ballet is a beautiful incredibly athletic art form that has been amazing audiences for centuries. It is a disciplined form of dance that strives for perfection while exuding elegance, grace, and control. Ballet class is the study of body positions, awareness, and alignment. It is a poised style of dance that incorporates the foundational techniques for many other dance forms and is highly suggested as a base to be taken before and during further dance training. This genre of dance is very hard to master and requires much practice but is endlessly beneficial. Dancers will work to improve posture and flexibility. They will concentrate on pointing their feet, strengthening ankles, understanding and increasing turn out, using their plie”, learning to stretch fully through their extensions will keeping their joints supported.

Belly Dance (Mixed Level) With a foundation established, this class offers students more advanced techniques and movement patterns. Each class includes a short warm-up, technique drills with layering options, and dance combinations or exercises that explore more advanced interpretations of Middle Eastern music.

BUTI Sculpt® (Hot Core®) HotCore® is the first half of class that utilizes the Spiral Structure Technique® to engage the deep muscles of the core. Broken into pre-sequenced sets to maximize muscle toning, look and functionality, HotCore® is the perfect add-on class for students looking to enhance core strength or push the limits of their yoga practice. Students practice in socks to facilitate fluid “drag” or friction creating resistance. In between sets, students move to restorative yoga asanas to stretch and lengthen.

Buti Sculpt® is the second half of class that builds long, lean muscle mass using a HIIT (high intensity interval training) – based formula seamlessly blended with static yoga poses to stretch and release the muscle group used during the high-intensity round. HIIT workouts kick the body into a heightened metabolic state + optimizes the body’s ability to burn fat through maximum heart rate + maximum effort and these effects can last up to 36 hours post-workout.

Cardio Dance/Dance Fit Cardio Dance is a hybrid of dance choreography and cardio exercises set to music, creating a heart-pumping workout to keep your body in constant motion. It’s the type of exercise that feels more like a party than anything else. Don’t be fooled though: this is a body-burning experience.

Gentle Yoga Gentle yoga is essentially what it sounds like—a gentler style of hatha yoga practice. It is performed at a slower pace, with less intense positions, and usually includes extended time for meditation, yogic breath work, and relaxation. 

Hip Hop Hip Hop is a very energetic form of dancing. It is unique in that it allows its dancers to perform with freedom of movement, adding in their own personalities. Hip hop dancing is an ideal way to express one’s creativeness. It features self-impressions and the dances come from the soul. The dancing represents body movements that go with the beat and rhythm of hip hop music. There is breaking, popping, locking, and free-styling in hip hop dances. The jumps, breakages, and rotations in the movements are combined in such a way that the dance style becomes an informal and explosive one. Dancers will practice various techniques, steps and moves focusing on rhythm, clear and elaborate execution and musical interpretation. They will learn many fun sequences and combinations.

Jazz Jazz is a high energy, stamina-building class. We focus on classical jazz technique, with across the floor progressions and combinations that often fuse contemporary and hip-hop choreography with jazz. Some dance experience is recommended, but anyone is welcome to try!

Modern An ideal class for beginners, this class teaches students the rudimentary movements that are the foundation for classical modern dance. Students will focus basic floor work, and elemental concepts of space. They will also build core strength and flexibility in a fun and encouraging environment.

Suggested attire: Comfortable clothing in which you can easily move, bare feet.

Tap Tap dance uses the sound of the tap shoes hitting the floor as a percussive instrument. Tap dance sharpens reflexes and improves memory skills and coordination. Beginning classes will work toward establishing fundamental tap movements, vocabulary and will work on basic rhythms and steps that progress into fun and lively dance combinations.  Tap dancing is a great way to develop musicality, timing and balance!
