Class Descriptions

Cora offers classes in the following techniques and disciplines:

null Ballet exposes students to basic ballet vocabulary, while developing strength, proper alignment and musicality. Pre-ballet is explored in a less formal environment appropriate for very young dancers while more formal ballet classes begin at age six.

null This blend of dance games, songs and stories uses vivid imagery to inspire children’s imaginations as well as their bodies. CM draws on many movement styles and techniques and is a fun introduction to the future study of many different dance forms.

null Modern dance expands upon the more positional vocabulary learned in ballet to explore fluid, released movement qualities. Modern dance nurtures intuitive, imaginative dancers by providing a balance of technique and improvisation.

 

nullTap is a percussive dance form which builds strong listening skills, rhythmic understanding and coordination while providing a highly energized, fully physical movement experience.


nullZumba Fitness® is the only Latin-inspired dance-fitness program that blends red-hot international music created by Grammy Award-winning producers and contagious steps to form a “fitness-party” that is downright addictive.
