range of dance styles for your child to experience. Thrill Dancers is also known for their
quality in boys dance education. The following dance styles are offered at Thrill Dancers.
Please note the recommended dance uniforms for each style.

Pre - Ballet / Jazz (ages 2.5-5)
Mini Ballet / Jazz (ages 4-6)
In these classes; geared towards our youngest dancers, our major goal is for children
to experience the joy of dance, enrich their skills, and learn to appreciate this art.
Students are familiarized with the structure of a dance class. They are introduced to
different rhythms and counts of music. Children learn how to move and improvise with
their bodies. We put a strong emphasis on developing coordination and moving
gracefully. Finally, students learn how to use the space and become familiar with basic
formations used in ballet and jazz, all the while having lots of FUN!!!

Ballet
Ballet is the basis of a well rounded dance education. It helps children develop co-ordination of mind and body, and nurtures the ability to focus, and maintain intense concentration.

Ballet provides a strong foundation for all other forms of dance. Not only does it aid, and enhance performance ability in other dance forms, it also provides strength and control for gymnastics, skating, and all other sports.

Jazz has become one of the most popular dance styles in recent years, mainly due to its popularity on television shows, movies, music videos and commercials. People enjoy watching jazz dancers, as the dancing is fun and energetic. Jazz dancing is a form of dance that showcases a dancer's individual style and originality. With its roots in
traditional ballet technique, jazz is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns.

Tap (ages 6+) / Mini Tap (ages 4-6)
The name comes from the tapping sound made when the small metal plates on the dancer's shoes touch a hard surface. This lively, rhythmic dance makes the performer not just a dancer, but also a percussive musician! Tap can either be done with music and follow the beats provided or without musical accompaniment, otherwise known as a capella dancing. From broadway to rhythm tap style; tap dance is fun!

exciting style and one of the most popular and prominent forms of dance in recent years.
Hip hop refers mainly to street dance styles, primarily danced to hip hop music. Hip Hop
can include a wide range of styles such as breaking, popping, locking and krumping,
and even house dance.

Lyrical / Contemporary
Lyrical dance is a modern dance form which fuses modern dance, jazz, and ballet.
Lyrical dance is often referred to as contemporary dance. It requires excellent technique
to perform, as the moves are often difficult and precise. Moreover, the dancer must be
well aware of facial expressions, essentially acting, to properly perform a lyrical dance
piece. Lyrical / Contemporary is an active component of all competitive and
precompetitive Jazz classes and is also apart of our Teen Jazz / Contemporary Classes.
Musical Theatre
Musical Theatre is and exciting blend of acting, song and dance. Dances are taught with a strong theatrical element, and are often inspired by the musical productions from Broadway.
Boys Dance Training
Thrill Dancers is also known for our quality in boys dance education. Male dancing has
taken off thanks to great shows like "So You Think You Can Dance". Boys know that dancing is cool!! Our recreational hip hop classes teach the basics of breaking (popping, locking, freezes). In our other classes, our boys learn to dance in the
proper male techniques and are taught partnering and lifts.
