_________________________________________

CBA is committed to encouraging young dancers to work hard to reach their goals and instill a life-long love of dance. CBA staff uses their patience and experience to inspire a love of dance and elicit improvements in a dancer’s technique, physical awareness, and discipline. This training impacts all aspects of your student’s life and will prove to be invaluable in years to come.

Ballet: Ballet classes start at the barre and focus on body alignment and the beginning of proper ballet technique. Dancers begin to explore story ballets and learn to appreciate focus, discipline, and hard work in a fun and nurturing way.

Contemporary/Jazz: These classes combine jazz and contemporary technique fundamentals to help develop well-rounded young dancers. Contemporary/Jazz focuses on building self-confidence and strength while learning new choreography and technical terminology. Dancers will turn, jump, stretch, and perform in this exciting new class offering. 

Modern/Improv: Modern/Improv at CBA focuses on generating spontaneous movement based in various styles. Our staff works to assist each student in pinpointing movement that resonates within their bodies and explore what interests them artistically. This practice will additionally be used as a way to develop composition and choreography.

Hip-Hop: These classes are designed for dancers that wish to fully engage in the vibrant form of dance that combines a variety of free style movements to create a cultural piece of art. These are fun, high energy, classes that require an open mind and positive attitude.

Young Male Ballet: This class is encouraged for young male dancers wishing to develop their overall body strength. It can be taken instead of pointe class, or as a stand-alone class.

Variations/Solo Choreography: This class will help dancers learn classical variations (solos from famous classical ballets) and work on self-choreography. Classical variations are extremely difficult to execute. Beginning to work on these fundamentals will assist all dancers in their growth towards being a dancer. Dancers that choose to perform a classical variation or self-choreographed solo on stage will be given an opportunity to do so in March.
