Creative expression and individuality comes through as the dancer becomes more familiar with the movements. It is a beautiful art form that requires self-discipline and dedication.  It is the foundation to other dance genres, such as jazz, lyrical, modern dance, and ballroom.  Daily class training will help establish total body awareness and alignment, core strength, flexibility, and creative intuitiveness. ​
