11 spots left
Designed to build strength, flexibility, and body awareness, this technique class supports Senior Company and Apprentice dancers as they train for the rigorous demands of their most advanced company work. Most weeks it's structured like a typical ballet class, but because there's no recital dance to prepare, we have the flexibility to shift things throughout the season, bringing in conditioning-focused weeks or guest teachers to best support our dancers. This makes it a great supplement to a dancer's regular training. Counts toward the ballet requirement for dancers enrolled in this class in place of a ballet class. 60 minutes // One day per week

Dancers expand their world in this ballet, tap, and jazz combo class for 7 to 9-year-olds. This has historically been a pivotal year at Thrive, as dancers dive deeper into class expectations, muscular engagement, and more complex combinations, plus a brand-new style. Dancers new to this level ideally have at least a year of prior ballet and tap experience; if you're not sure it's the right fit, we're happy to have your dancer try a trial class to see how they settle in and catch up. Our emphasis stays on correct, age-appropriate technique, music, and movement, paired with plenty of fun, encouragement, and community building. Dancers in this class are also welcome to sample our 6-week community classes, including modern, hip hop, acro, and musical theater, throughout the season. 90 minutes // One day per week // 3 Watch Weeks
