INTRODUCTION TO DANCE
Combo Classes
Our “Introduction To Dance” Program is specifically designed to provide children between three and six years of age with a strong foundation in dance and movement. It teaches the young dancer the basic elements of movement and dance: space and how to relate to it, both as an individual and as a member of a group; opposites and directions; some elementary positions of ballet. Integrated with these physical concepts are the intellectual concepts of self-awareness, creative expression, imagination, teamwork, and basic body/health awareness.
Ages 3 to 6
Class length is 60 minutes
BALLET & POINTE
ADVANCED BALLET
The method of Ballet taught at Broadway Bound is the Cecchetti method. There are five levels and each level stresses essential techniques from the basics up to advanced. Body line and terminology are very important. In every level, correct placement and carriage of the body is stressed along with a good sense of self discipline and positive execution. In order to be an accomplished dancer, it is absolutely essential that Ballet be studied in conjunction with other forms of dance. Ballet is the foundation for correct line, strength and proper execution.
Ages 8 to Adult
Ballet Classes vary in length and price depending on level
Musical Comedy
Musical Comedy is the best blend of what we love about theater. This class incorporates singing, dancing and acting in a fun and engaging class setting. Students work developing their "stage skills" working in Improv and Pantomime, Group Voice and Musical Theater Dance!
They learn stage direction, MT vocabulary, scene pacing, and how to open up their imaginations and embrace the characters that they ARE and CAN BE. At the end of the year Recital they perform in their own mini-musical.
This class was the first of it's kind in the area and still remains a favorite of all in the "know."
Classes are 75 minutes in length and taught by Directors Maureen & Adam Kastl

HIP HOP
Hip Hop Dance is a style of movement characterized by bounces and rocks, executed to Hip Hop music. It is highly stylized (coming in many different forms) with an emphasis on precision movements and a confident attitude. No prior dance experience is required.
Ages 8 to Adult
Class length is 60 minutes
JAZZ
There are many different styles of Jazz here at Broadway Bound, we not only cover all styles of Jazz, but having already performed on Broadway as performers, we understand that there are many basic techniques necessary to be a good Jazz dancer. Part of what’s important is not only knowing the basics, but also being able to incorporate one’s own “style” into the combination to the music. We do not want every student to be a robot when it comes to performing a routine. Students should learn correct turns, leaps, barre and floor stretching exercises, strength moves and be challenged enough to pick up dance combinations geared to their level of ability. All classes are geared more to the movements and steps of today’s music.
(Class length and price vary depending on level for Jazz)
TAP
Tap dancing is unlike most other forms of dance in that a student can hear the improvement as well as see it. Tap Dance at Broadway Bound starts with the basics: Tap dancing terminology, correct body posture and progresses with more intricate steps based on ability. The whole body is taught not just the feet. Arms, body line, hands, foot turn out are all necessary for a good look and great sound. We don’t believe in noise. . . what’s important is proper improvement and execution.
Ages 8 to Adult
Class length is 60 minutes
