Whether your dancer is just starting dance, or continuing their training, our Mini's program has a class for all levels ages 6-9!
Tap/Jazz
Combination
This is our most popular 90 min class because it features 2 dance disciplines, Tap and Jazz. This class is structured with 45 mins of each dance discipline. Each half of the class will offer detailed instruction with focus on specific techniques and precision of movement from each discipline. This class gives a beginning recreational student a thorough introduction to dance.
Hip-Hop
This course is designed for the beginner- level dancer that is looking to try out hip hop inspired dance. This is a hip hop inspired movement class that will teach students the roots of hip hop culture and teach them to move their bodies in a new way. Students will work on becoming stronger in their body placement, learn coordination between hard-hitting movement and soft, flowy movements, and how to move cohesively as a group. Our class environment is fun and upbeat while still pushing your dancer to the next level.
Hero
Academy
The life skills of confidence, discipline, organization, persistence, and commitment are learned through action. Movement is a fundamental life skill and like every other life skill, it is best learned in a structured environment. In sports, this is called practice. At OTT... we call it dance class. This program is a two-part course that incorporates the fundamentals of sports and tap dance. We teach sports training through fun structured athletic activities to build their strength and coordination; while the tap portion will focus on musicality, beginner music theory, and rhythm.
Ballet
This course is designed to take your ballet dancer to the next level. Ballet foundations provide structure, technique, coordination, and to move with a group. Students are taught proper body placement, body alignment, barre and center floor work, along with across the floor combinations. This class will be divided into two parts, starting with ballet technique and the second part of class will introduce the style of contemporary. Contemporary fuses together many different dance styles such as ballet, jazz, modern, and lyrical. This genre of dance often includes floor work, improvisation and finding movement within all parts of the body.
