Ballet is a classical dance form that originated in the Italian Renaissance courts in the 15th century and later developed into a highly technical form of dance. Ballet classes typically involve a combination of exercises that focus on developing strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. Throughout the class, students will be expected to maintain proper posture, alignment, and technique, and to demonstrate grace and fluidity of movement

Tap dance is a form of dance that involves rhythmical tapping of the feet, often accompanied by music. Tap dance classes typically begin with a warm-up, which includes stretching exercises to prepare the body for the physical demands of tap dancing. In a tap dance class, students learn to use their feet as percussive instruments, creating rhythms and sounds through a combination of tapping and stomping movements. They may also learn to incorporate upper body movements and musicality into their dancing.

Lyrical dance is a style of dance that combines elements of ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance to convey emotions and tell a story through movement. In a lyrical dance class, students learn to connect their movements with the music, expressing emotion and feeling through their dancing. The class may also include improvisation exercises or opportunities for students to create their own movements and choreography.

Jazz dance is a style of dance that originated in the early 20th century and is influenced by a variety of dance styles, including African, Caribbean, and European dance. Jazz dance routines are typically set to upbeat music with a fast tempo, and they often feature high-energy movements and flashy footwork. The choreography may be inspired by a specific style or era of jazz, or it may incorporate elements of other dance styles, such as hip hop or contemporary dance.
