Where Dancers Dream Big & Discover What's Possible

Second to Fifth Grade

As dancers move into the elementary years, they're ready for more independence, more technique, and more opportunities to discover what they love. At Spirit in Motion, our classes are designed to help dancers build their skills, explore new styles, and grow into confident dancers all while keeping the joy of dance at the heart of every class.  This is the stage where dancers begin developing their own interests, building stronger technique, and discovering what kind of dancer they want to become.

Ballet

When a teacher believes in you, you learn to believe in yourself.

Ballet technique provides the foundation dancers need to grow with confidence. Dancers develop proper form, strength, flexibility, poise and posture while building their knowledge through barre, center work, turns, leaps and jumps all while being challenged and supported along the way.

Pre Lyrical Composition


Pre Lyrical Composition
Third Grade Plus

This class bridges the gap between foundational technique and expressive storytelling, designed specifically for dancers who are ready to explore the emotional and theatrical side of dance. Dancers will build on their basic technique while being introduced to lyrical movement blending ballet and jazz styles.  Dancers will explore improvisation exercises to SPARK creativity, deepen musicality, and encourage individual expression along with musical theatre components, where dancers explore character work and storytelling through movement, inspired by Broadway-style music.
With a focus on connecting emotion to movement, students will gain CONFIDENCE, develop artistry, and start forming the performance tools they'll need in lyrical and theatre-based classes.
Just a friendly reminder: this is a beginner-level recreational class.

*For dancers interested in advancing to higher-level lyrical classes in the future, a solid background in ballet and jazz is mandatory.*  

We're not just helping them become better dancers.
We're helping them believe they can do more than they ever imagined.
