Current Classes

Commercial Dance
Limited, two-time, intensive master class with a strong focus on picking up and retaining choreography at a fast pace, performance skills, and overall movement dynamics.

Hip Hop
Class begins with a dynamic warm-up of isolation and the foundations of popping, waving, vogueing, and locking. Combinations include a wide array of hip hop styles, focusing on control, musicality, and expressiveness.

Ballet
Designed with skaters in mind, ballet curriculum follows the Cecchetti and Vaganova foundations of alignment, physical expression, and promotes maximum fluidity on the ice. Skaters learn correct alignment and body awareness to promote intellectual development, physical development, and injury prevention. All classes start with a complete barre warm-up, followed by across-the-floor and centre work. Upper levels include adagio, petite allegro, and grande allegro combinations. Classes are open to all levels unless otherwise noted.

Ballet II – Point. Flex. Stretch.
This 2-hour class is designed for students with previous ballet experience and focuses on intermediate barre work, center exercises, and across-the-floor combinations and jumps. During the first 70 min of class, students continue to polish learned ballet skills while emphasizing musicality, coordination, and danceability. The final 50 min of the class will focus on passive and active flexibility exercises which will allow athletes to improve movement patterns specific to figure skating. Knowledge of ballet terminology is a must for optimal growth and improvement.

Agility and Endurance
After three minutes of exercise, your body starts utilizing its aerobic metabolism. Skaters need a mix of endurance and power. The training of these systems can contradict each other so specific techniques and timing are used. This class will focus on exercises that stress the development of your cardiovascular system. The outcome is easier breathing throughout your programs while maintaining speed and bursts of power. Sneakers and a yoga mat are required.

Strength
Strength class is a blend of pilates- and barre-inspired exercises designed to develop flexibility, strength and coordination. Through exercises and fun activities, attendees will build their repertoire of movement patterns that will serve them in all facets of skating and overall athletic development.

Horton
Horton and Limón techniques combine Ballet technique with Modern movement language through extension, contraction, fall & recovery. The class consists of a warm-up in centre through lateral movement, contraction and dynamic stretching. Through the warm-up series, students gain a heightened awareness of body, weight, balance and core strength. Centre-work includes Limón combinations, Horton preludes & combinations and choreographic repertoire. If you have ever seen and admired the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater, you have been watching Horton’s legacy in action. Ailey was a student and company dancer of Lester Horton and Ailey brought the technique to New York and his legendary choreography.
