Recital Information

DJ's Dance Studio is based upon the philosophy that dance is simply a lot of fun for people of all ages and abilities. We have found that dance improves memory, creativity, rhythm, coordination, team work, academic achievement and direction as well as self-esteem. The studio has a comfortable, non-competitive, family oriented feel and is able to limit class size that enables us to give individual attention to each dancer. Each class has specific objectives and pre-determined measurable goals in mind. The dancer is exposed to the various techniques specific to the dance genre, musicality and structure as well as a sense of teamwork and individual achievement. DJ's Dance Studio has seen its dancers attain successful experiences with Dance, Drill Team, Color Guard and Theater, not to mention overall academic endeavors.
Dance attire recommended for all classes is a black or pink leotard, pink tights, ballet skirt of choice, black dance pants and appropriate dance shoes. The hair must be in a pony tail or bun.

Pre-School classes are 45 minute Pre-Tap and Pre-Ballet combination classes utilizing creative movement and imagery. Emphasizing the development of large motor skills and musicality within the dance class structure, the classes are designed to encourage a love for dance movement.

 
Kindergarten - First Grade class is a one hour Pre-Tap and Pre-Ballet combination class working on large motor skills, imagery, creativity, musicality, and teamwork within the dance class format.

Level 1 is for the 2nd and 3rd grade dancer who may choose from Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Hip-Hop, and Irish Step Dance, allowing for a greater overview of dance styles. Individual dance technique and movement skills begin to take on more importance at this level, while maintaining the fun and excitement of dance.

Level 2 is for the 4th and 5th grade dancer. Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Hip-Hop, Irish Step Dance and the six weeks Drill Team Prep Workshop are available for this age group. A closer attention to detail of movement and technique in relation to music and specific to the dance genre continues to be emphasized.

Ballroom Dance classes are available for all ages and will teach specific dance styles for special occasions. Please keep in mind they are scheduled on an individual basis with the instructor. Please call the studio for details.

Drill Team Prep is an ongoing class. The dancers will work on high kick technique, splits, military precision, jazz technique, projection and overall strength building. Please call the studio for details.

Hip-Hop is a genre of dance that incorporates a certain style of creativity, attitude, music, posture, and choreography. This style of dance stems from early urban influences of rap and the inner city streets where many different ethnic cultures and dance disciplines fused together to form the exciting form of dance known as hip-hop.

Adult Classes are designed for fun, exercise and skill development of the specific dance genre. The studio offers Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Hip-Hop, and Irish Step Dance specifically for adults. Performance opportunities are available pending skill level and interest.
