Classes offered at Jillian's School of Dance!
  • Combo Classes - All Combo Classes are designed for the younger students in an effort to spark their imagination, fun learning in an instructional environment while exposing them to the basic fundamental technique of various dance styles including Ballet and Tap.
  • ​Jazz - Infused from styles of Ballet, African Dance, and Swing, traditional Jazz gained notoriety thru Broadway and theatrical performances.  Jazz dance emphasizes the importance of floor work, turns, kicks, high energy, and rhythmical accuracy. ​
  • Hip-Hop - This is a high energy, rhythmic form of dance focusing on street dancing, break dancing, jazz and stylized isolation.  The latest form of physical expression in today's pop culture.
  • ​Contemporary / Lyrical - Contemporary and Lyrical are styles of dance created from the fusion of classical ballet with jazz and modern dance technique.  Both contemporary and lyrical are expressive and encourages the dancers to use their emotions and mood to create movement.  ​
  • Ballet - Ballet is the foundation of all dance styles.  Each class includes barre exercises, center work and across the floor combinations.  Students will focus on technique, flexibility and center body placement while emphasizing musicality.  It develops strength, stamina, coordination and grace.
  • ​Demi - Pointe - Teacher approval required and 3 years consecutive ballet classes required, age 11+.  Student must be enrolled in Ballet 4 or Beginning Ballet 5 concurrently. Students will work on ballet and Pointe technique as well as strengthening exercises with Therabands, balance discs, etc.
Demi-pointe shoes required. By introducing demi-pointe shoes, students will grow in strength and proper placement in preparation for Pointe work. They will be responsible for caring for their own shoes and stretching materials which promotes a deeper sense of pride and respect for the privilege of graduating to a full Pointe class.
Participation in Demi-Pointe is not a guarantee of advancement into a Pointe class in the future. Students are invited into Pointe  after evaluation on an individual basis and are not automatically entitled to move forward. This is for their own safety and health of their growing bodies.
  • Pointe - Teacher approval required. The most advance form of ballet.  Dancing on Pointe requires strength, technique and skill so students must be enrolled in  Ballet 5 concurrently  ​
  • Tap - Tap classes are design to develop rhythm, style and sound.  Students will learn a variety of tap styles from Broadway to rhythm tap.
  • ​Jazz Theater - The student will work on stage presence, storytelling, acting and learn showstopper routines to Broadway musical dance numbers with a focus on jazz technique. ​​
  • Leaps and Turns - This is a technique class that is devoted to learning, improving and perfecting technique in jumps, kicks, turn and tricks. (No recital performance)
