Pre-Pointe & Pointe Technique
Our Pre-pointe and Pointe Technique class is for our students who have already mastered the basics of ballet and are moving forward with more advanced technique. Students must be approved to attend this class by the director and a co-requisite of a ballet class is required.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Pre-Pointe does not guarantee an admission to pointe. Admission to pointe is based solely upon demonstration of proper preparation. Pre-pointe is focused on training the proper muscles for pointe. One of the most important factors for admission to pointe is development of foot/ankle strength. Dancers grow and mature at different rates and have different foot and bone structures. Pre-pointe provides professional and specific exercises to maximize likelihood of admission to pointe. Pointe is the most difficult and serious of all of the dance forms offered at Sanctuary Dance Academy. Dancers must be evaluated for pointe.

Lyrical/Jazz 1
In this exciting class, students will be introduced to the basic technique of jazz mixed with various elements of ballet training! Lyrical dance is a combination of ballet and jazz, which creates a beautiful fusion of powerful movements tempered with the grace of ballet. This is a highly expressive dance style usually performed to music with lyrics (hence the term "lyrical") that is both bold and beautiful, and one of the favorites among many young dancers due to its freedom of movement. Because the warm-ups and across the floor combinations in class are more jazz-influenced, taking a ballet class alongside this style is highly encouraged in order to ensure that all dancers receive the proper training in a classical dance form that will enhance their technique, strength and flexibility. We would love to have you join us!

2) Students MUST take at least one ballet class AND an additional style of dance (jazz, worship, or contemporary) in addition to the company class.

Performances scheduled at least one month in advance will be considered required attendance.

Come join us for a wonderful time together as we learn how to use the gift of dance to honor and worship our Savior!
In this exciting and fun-filled dance class, students will be instructed in folk dances from around the world with a primary focus on Israeli folk dancing, which is a combination of many national folk dance styles. Additionally, we will use similar steps and footwork--along with some added props and a unique, artistic style--to learn choreography to modern Christian Worship Music. Students of this class will learn multiple dances each semester, and will perform 2-4 dances in the spring recital. Come join us for a wonderful time together as we learn how to use the gift of dance to honor and worship our Savior!

Lyrical/Jazz 2 & 3
Lyrical dance is a combination of ballet and jazz, which creates a beautiful fusion of powerful movements tempered with the grace of ballet. This is a highly expressive dance style usually performed to music with lyrics (hence the term "lyrical") that is both bold and beautiful, and one of the favorites among many young dancers due to its freedom of movement. Because the warm-ups and across the floor combinations in class are highly jazz-influenced, a ballet class is also recommended in order to ensure that all dancers receive the proper training in a classical dance form that will enhance their technique, strength and flexibility. We would love to have you join us!

Junior Dance Company
Sanctuary Dance Academy's Junior Dance Company is a wonderful opportunity to use dance to reach others with the love of God! As a company, students will be instructed in dance choreography from the beginning of the semester, with an extra emphasis on stage presence and presentation. Each class will also include a short devotional. While this class focuses primarily on choreography, strength, flexibility, and strong dance technique will also be practiced and emphasized in class and students will see their abilities as a dancer strengthen and grow as they participate!
REQUIREMENTS:
1) Students must be at least 8 years old to participate (younger students by director approval only)
2) Students MUST take at least one ballet class in addition to the company class (taking multiple dance styles like worship, jazz, and contemporary is highly encouraged but not required for Junior Company)
3) Students must be committed to class. Three or more absences in a semester may mean they have a smaller part in the choreography or may be taken out of a dance altogether if their attendance is too low.
4) Students must commit to taking part in performances. At least one performance per semester will be scheduled, with additional performances possible as well. Performances scheduled at least one month in advance will be considered required attendance. Local performances* may consist of community events, performances in assisted living homes, church events, etc.! (*Performances are considered local if they are within a one-hour drive from the studio location.)
