Dance comes in many styles, each offering its own unique beauty, technique, and story. Whether you’re drawn to the elegance of ballet or the energy of contemporary, there’s a style for everyone — and at En Pointe, we help you discover and master the one that speaks to you.

1. Ballet: The Foundation of Grace and Technique

Ballet is at the heart of everything we do at En Pointe. Known for its poise, precision, and grace, ballet builds strength, flexibility, and discipline. It’s the foundation for many other dance styles and helps dancers develop impeccable posture, balance, and technique. Our ballet classes range from beginner to advanced, offering students a chance to perfect their pliés, pirouettes, and, of course, learn the art of dancing en pointe.

2. Contemporary Dance: Where Emotion Meets Movement

Contemporary dance takes inspiration from ballet, modern, and jazz styles, focusing on fluid, expressive movement. At En Pointe Dance School, our contemporary classes encourage creativity and personal interpretation, allowing dancers to tell stories through their movements. It’s a style that blends technique with freedom, making it both challenging and deeply rewarding.

3. Jazz: High-Energy and Style

If you love dynamic, upbeat movement and powerful expression, jazz dance is for you. Our jazz classes focus on sharp, precise moves, rhythm, and performance quality. From classic jazz to more modern influences, this style helps dancers develop flexibility, strength, and musicality.

4. Tap Dance: Creating Rhythm with Your Feet

Tap dance is all about making music with your movement. With its focus on rhythm and timing, tap enhances a dancer’s sense of musicality while building strength and coordination. At En Pointe, our tap classes teach everything from basic shuffles to intricate footwork, helping dancers find their rhythm in a fun and energetic way.

5. Musical Theatre: Bringing Stories to Life

Musical theatre dance is perfect for those who love the spotlight. Combining elements of jazz, ballet, and acting, this style focuses on storytelling through movement and performance. At En Pointe Dance School, our musical theatre classes help dancers build confidence, stage presence, and character development while mastering choreography inspired by Broadway and West End shows. It’s an exciting, expressive style that brings dance, drama, and music together in perfect harmony.

6. Lyrical Dance: A Beautiful Blend of Ballet and Jazz

Lyrical dance combines the technical strength of ballet with the expressive freedom of jazz and contemporary. It’s an emotional, storytelling dance form that emphasizes fluidity and grace. At En Pointe, our lyrical classes focus on connecting movement with music, allowing dancers to express their emotions through every step.

7. Pointe: The Ultimate Expression of Elegance

For advanced ballet students, dancing en pointe is a major milestone. Our pointe classes focus on developing the strength and technique required to dance on the tips of your toes with grace and ease. Under the careful guidance of our expert instructors, students learn proper alignment, balance, and artistry, making this challenging style both safe and beautiful.
