Class Offerings: August - May
Ballet:
Ballet I: Ages 5-7
Classical ballet technique is introduced at the Ballet Barre. Foot and arm positioning is explored through Plie, Releve, Tendu, Degage and Rond de Jambe. Traditional center work is done with ease as the students pantomime, jump, spin and stretch to the delightful “Carnival of the Animals”. This original ballet workout develops the correct musculature, balance and suppleness essential to the ballet dancer, all while enjoying a creative, light-hearted experience.
Ballet 2: Ages 7-11
Based on the Vaganova tradition, the dancers endeavor the classical alignment as they study intermediate terminology. Students learn dance principles such as Pirouette, Sauté, Pique and en Tournant. Attention is paid to each student’s individual alignment as the dancers become aware of their own natural ranges of joint motion and how to develop safely.
Ballet/Lyrical: Ages 12-18
Building on the principles learned in Ballet 2, dancers drill intermediate to advanced Barre exercises. Center work may be presented in a spiral, rotational, elongated or other neo-classical style. Principles such as foutée, battu, and épaulement are added.
En Pointe: Ages 13+
Students must be enrolled in Ballet/Lyrical. Audition or interview required.
Jazz:
Spin, leap, kick and jump with style! Whether it’s Street Dance or Fosse, Swing, Lyrical or Latin, today’s Broadway dancers display many skills.
Jazz 1: introduces the FUNdamentals!
Jazz 2: presents challenging choreography
Jazz 3: prepares the student for University programs and professional auditions.
Tap:
The quintessential rhythm dance, Tap is part dance and part musicality. Students learn both Broadway-style time steps and the more contemporary Rhythm Tap made famous by such dancers as Gregory Heins and Savion Glover. From Shuffles to Wings, Flaps to Pullbacks, StarStruck’s Tap Program offers four levels to accommodate the most advanced dancer. Enrollment in Level 4 by audition only.
Dance a la Cirque:
StarStruck offers the premier “Cirque” experience on the Treasure Coast. Based on modern dance and acrobatics, the students use teamwork to counter balance a partner creating shapes and formations. The students also learn the Circus Art of Aerial Fabric or Silks. A vertical, soft apparatus that challenges the student to climb, descend, invert, spin, balance and drop. A unique offering, Dance a la Cirque develops strength, concentration and courage like no other dance form. Enrollment in Cirque 2 by audition only.
Yoga/Acro/Hip Hop: K-5 Grade
This class will be an exciting, active way for your child to get into the fun of hip-hop (building stamina, learning body isolations, working on free-style movement and rhythm) while also working on their acro skills (backbends, cartwheels, round offs, handstands). They will begin and end each class with YOGA stretches and poses as a way of developing self awareness, improving concentration and clear thinking, boosting creativity and relaxing.
Creative Movement: Ages 3-4
Children will learn coordination, rhythm, & flexibility while enhancing learning & discipline skills. Children learn to participate in a structured environment, learn to follow directions, have respect for themselves as well as others, practice taking turns and increase their self-esteem! “Creative Movement” is an introductory combo class for young children that incorporates acrobatics, jazz, tap and ballet.
Modern Contemporary: Ages 13+
For teens and older: In Modern/Contemporary the dancers utilize acting skills to interpret music in class and on the stage. This is done in bare feet and there are no shoes required. Mainly using technical dance moves such as pirouettes, jetes, contractions and isolations, Modern/Contemporary is a stylized form and combination of Jazz and Ballet dance.
*Modern/Contemporary Dance requires at least one-year experience in Ballet and/or Jazz dancing.
Hip Hop: Ages 13+
Classes start off with a basic warm-up, then Jessica breaks the class down with a hip-hop combination. Learn the basic foundations of the movement and style of Jazz Funk, Hip Hop.
