All tappers are welcome who have previously danced either in their younger years or from the beginner class.  Our goal is to have fun, improve technique and present an enjoyable routine for our MCT audiences.

An hour of fun and easy tapping, our tap class is for men and women, high school age and over - including way, way over! Learning to tap dance is excellent exercise, physically and mentally, and helps improve balance. 

Broadway inspired jazz class incorporating stylized walks, kicks and basic locomotive combinations. 

Ballet is an artistic dance form performed to music using precise and highly formalized set steps and gestures. This dance style is characterized by graceful, fluid movements and an emphasis on basic technical skills. (Note: this is a half hour class) 

Lyrical dance is a style that finds its roots in ballet & jazz and is characterized by fluid expressive movements which can convey emotions such as joy, love or loss. It is an excellent style for beginners because it focuses largely on expression rather than structured ballet or jazz. For seasoned dancers, the choreography can become more intricate & challenging. In the lyrical class, we work on improving our flexibility, balance & strength as well as learn how to convey a message through movements. We use various music styles, from slow ballads to world music to hip hop, in which songs always have a message.  

Belly Dance is more than just wriggling around in a sequined bikini! It encompasses dances from all over the Middle East, all the way to Gypsy and even a little African and Flamenco. It’s a fun way to move your body to the music, and you don’t have to bare any part of your body to do
