Tap: An upbeat program where your feet become part of the music.

Modern: A form of contemporary theatrical and concert dance employing a special technique for developing the use of the entire body in movements expressive of abstract ideas. Modern dance is a free and expressive form of movement that emerged in the early 20th century as a rebellion against classical ballet. It prioritizes emotional expression, natural body movement, and often incorporates unconventional choreography and themes.
Contemporary/Lyrical: Based in ballet technique, but exploring new directions with fluid, "outside the box" movements. Contemporary dance is an innovative dance style that breaks traditional boundaries, incorporating elements from various movement techniques.
