  Top Focus In Our Classes

  • Technique-Our instructors will place an emphasis on correct stance, body control, and the student’s coordination head to toe starting as basic as walking, running, skipping, and jumping. The student is introduced to the French ballet terms and dance stylized movement will be combined with technique in all choreography. At intermediate and advance levels, a wider range of physical movement is developed within the student’s own capabilities, and the use of the dancer’s body is increased to develop a greater variety in style. The dance movement vocabulary is increased to encompass more dance steps and required techniques.
  • Rhythm-At our younger or beginning levels, the emphasis is on listening to and being able to keep in time with the music. At the upper levels, the rhythm is developed from the understanding of more complicated compositions. At each level, there is the opportunity for the student to explore the development of rhythm into movement in their own individual way.
  • Presentation-In the younger or beginning levels, the instructors focus on being able to present and perform what the students learn with a sense of enjoyment. By practicing stage presence in class, the student gains that self-confidence to perform in front of others. As the student progresses through intermediate and advanced levels, they have the opportunity to communicate a growing variety of moods through both movement and expression to develop an artistic performance.

  Jazz & Ballet Classes

  This class is technique-based using our developed curriculum which teaches both ballet (the foundation of all dance) and jazz (a hybrid of ballet and modern movement). Jazz is a performance-based genre of dance that mixes traditional ballet, technique, style, and modern dance moves. The importance is placed on a strong Ballet foundation, strength, flexibility, athleticism, and artistry in movement quality.  The program incorporates all styles of Jazz: Traditional Percussive, Funk, Lyrical, Contemporary, as well as Theatre and Broadway styles.  Upon completion of the program, in the advanced pre-professional level, a student is fully prepared for college dance programs, concert companies, and theatre productions.  See a 2 min clip of Nichole’s jazz & ballet classes.  $45/Mo ($40 multi).

  For Ages: 3-4 (Tots), 5-6 (Minis), 7-9 (Juniors), 10+ (See Company Intro)

  Company Intro Dance

  Students who have some experience (or even just a little) but have a BIG desire to grow, this class is for you.  These teams get one additional performance or competition in the spring (total of 4, no additional costume needed) as they work together towards amazing performances and progression.  Students are required to take both a ballet/jazz and a hip hop class, but at Bravo we stack the class in a 2 hour block so you only have to come 1 day per week. This is not a competition team, simply a company where more focus, commitment, and team growth is achieved. At Bravo, our vision is to support your child as they balance their schoolwork and other commitments along with being part of this great team.  See a 2 min clip of Nichole’s company dance teams examples. $45/Mo ($40 multi).

  Cheer Classes

  Our cheer classes consist of cheer techniques that start with the foundation of strength and flexibility. The instructor places a strong emphasis on conditioning through angles, alignment, and stunting. Students will learn actual cheers and how to execute them to pump up the crowd, choreographed routines that combine dance, cheer, tumbling, and stunting skills. Tumbling and cheer go hand and hand, due to time restraints tumbling will not be taught in this class, but all cheer techniques will be taught.

  Tumbling Classes For Beginners

  Tumbling classes for beginners are based on a child’s age.  Once a child has learned the required skills (see level 2) they will get to advance progress to the next level.  Students who have prior experience will most likely progress quickly as they may only have a couple of skills to learn while beginners may stay in this class much longer to gain needed strength and coordination to achieve skills needed for advancement.  See a 30 sec clip of Nichole’s Spring 2020 show. $45/Mo ($40 multi).
