Here at The Little Dance World, we teach ballet based on the style of the Royal Academy of Dance.

Jazz is a fun, fast-paced dance style usually paired up with popular upbeat music. This style draws from elements in other styles such as ballet, modern, and hip-hop.

Contemporary dance is a broad dance form that combines the strong technical elements of ballet with modern dance's stress on the torso, and strong accents of jazz dance. Common movements found in contemporary dances include floor work, fall and recovery, and improvisation.

Lyrical jazz is a style that combines the fluid, expressive movements of lyrical with the sharp, energetic movements of jazz. It is often performed to slower, more emotional music and emphasizes the storytelling aspect of dance. The movements are typically graceful, flowing, and often incorporate elements of ballet technique.

Hip-hop is a popular style of dance with sharp impactful movements done to the hip-hop genre of music. This is a style that is fun for dancers of all levels.

While not formally a dance style, we also offer tumbling at The Little Dance World. Our experienced instructor Mr. Michael uses floor mats that allow students to safely learn floor tumbling tricks. Tumbling helps dancers improve their coordination, flexibility, and core strength.

Musical theater is a style that combines dance with acting and results in a fun theatrical style that is as much fun to perform as it is to watch. It allows dancers to learn to be more expressive and step into the shoes of various characters.
