Manda's Rhythm & Dance offers a wide array of classes designed to give self-esteem and confidence to all our dancers, while learning the proper techinique to be the best possible dancer that you can be!

Class Descriptions:

Creative Movement- This class is typically for the first or second year dancer. Students are introduced to a class environment through dance, music and games. It also incorporates beginning steps of Ballet, tap and jazz. For ages 2-4.

Ballet- We combine Cecchetti, Russian and French styles of ballet to accomplish a class with proper technique and body placement. We teach classic Ballet with a mix of contemporary to achieve a very fulfilling Ballet experience.

Tap- Tap is a very enjoyable form of dance that focuses primarily on the feet with concentration on the ball of the foot. The dancer makes sounds with the taps, almost as if playing a musical instrument. Excellent for all ages.

Jazz- Jazz is a form that was made popular in the 1980s and now combines Broadway style with Modern, Hollywood and Hip-Hop forms of dancing. Jazz has it's own technique and can really enhance a dancer to have great abilities with the stretching, steps, leaps and turns that Jazz is known for.

Jazz/Poms- This is a sharp form of Jazz that combines dancing and the sharp movements that were at one time limited to cheerleaders. Most people commonly know this form from sports dance teams. This dance form has a series of arms movements and also incorporates leaps and turns.

Hip-Hop- Hip-Hop is a form of "street dance," that encompasses all parts of the body. We combine the latest dance and funk moves as well as age appropriate "MTV" style dancing, with current music for our most popular dance class yet!

Lyrical- Lyrical is a cross between Ballet, Jazz and Modern. It is a very expressive dance form that fully uses the music to reach the audience. Beautiful!

Combo Classes- These classes combine introductory steps from Ballet or Jazz and Tap. Students do both styles of dance in one class that meets once a week. A great way to introduce dance to beginner dancers!
