Classes at Trudy's School of Dance
Preschool (Ages 3 - 5)
Teaching the introductory movements of Pre-Ballet and Tap, as well as Acrobatics for strengthening purposes.
Ballet (Beginner, Intermediate, & Advance Levels)
The fundamentals for all dance styles. Ballet builds technique and/or mechanics of dance movement, as well as strength, discipline, and poise.
Pointe (Placement Level Only)
These classes are for those who have achieved a certain level in Ballet. One must not only have an understanding of technique but also must have the "muscle memory" before advancing on to Pointe.
Jazz (Beginner, Intermediate, & Advance Levels)
Jazz is a culmination of Classic Jazz and contemporary movement. These movements are primarily based on Ballet, however their execution and positioning changes into more precise and free movement.
Tap (Beginner, Intermediate, & Advance Levels)
Tap is a derivation from African Tribal dances, where the pounding of the feet where used as part of their music. Tap was started by the African-Americans and evolved into a more conformed dance style in the 1940s with the help of such legends as Sandman, Henry LeTang, the Hines Brothers, and many more!
Advanced Rap Tap (Int. & Adv. Tappers only)
A unique creation of Tap dance, merged with Hip-Hop. Intended for the advanced tapper.
Lyrical (Beginning, Intermediate, & Advance Levels)
Lyrical is a more recent style added to the dance world. It is a combination of Jazz, Ballet, and Modern movements that are set to the "lyrics" of a song. It is a more expressive form of dance, one that tells the story of the song.
Modern (Intermediate & Advance Levels)
Modern is a wide-range of styles. One could say that modern is everything except classical ballet. Modern began its recognition in the worl of dance with such famous dancers & choreographers as: Martha Graham, Alvin Ailey, Twyla Tharp, Hawkins, Horton, and many more! Modern is generally a more obscure and "free-er" sense of movement.
Hip Hop (Ages 9 – adult)
Hip Hop was a street dance started in the 1980s in Harlem, NY. It has no technique or formalities. It is a "free-for-all" style with constant creation of new dance moves, flips, turns, and positioning of the body. It is set to rap music mostly.
