View our 2010-11 Class Schedule Studio 68 offers a variety of classes for ages 2 through Adult. Whether you're just beginning or have taken dance lessons for years, we have the perfect class for you. Fall classes begin September 7th. REGISTER NOW! Our Classes Ballet emphasizes balance, control, and grace. It is the foundation for all forms of dance. Classes are offered to girls age 2 and up and boys who are at least 4 years old. Pointe classes are available to intermediate and advanced students age 10 and older with at least 3 years of serious ballet training. Students must also be enrolled in a weekly ballet class. Enrollment is with the instructor’s permission only. Tap focuses on combining rhythm and sound with music. This class is available to boys and girls who are 5 years old and up. Jazz has several styles, from blues to pop to hip-hop. Our jazz students will be exposed to many different styles. It’s offered to students 4 years old and up. Students must continue taking ballet. Lyrical dance is strongly influenced by both ballet and jazz styles. It will strengthen complete dance and performance skills and emphasizes musicality and expression through dance. This class is available to any student age 7 and up with at least one year of ballet experience. Students must continue taking ballet. Hip-Hop has evolved from street dancing into one of the most popular styles of dance today. This class is available to any student age 7 and up. No previous experience or other classes are required. Acrobatics focuses on basic tumbling and mat work that would be beneficial for dancers, such as cartwheels, partner tricks, and walkovers to name a few. Students looking for advanced or power tumbling should visit our neighbor, Yadkin Valley Gymnastics. Adult classes are offered in ballet, tap, and jazz based on interest. Private and semi-private lessons are available in any of the dance forms listed. These lessons offer individual, concentrated attention and are invaluable in improving technique or mastering complex movements. Students preparing for pageants and talent shows often choose private lessons. Our Age Groups 2 and 3 year old students will develop coordination and classroom social skills. These classes include very basic ballet discipline, song & dance routines, and basic acrobatic skills. They meet once a week for 30 minutes. 4 year old classes will begin to resemble a "classical" dance class and use of the barre is introduced. Children will also engage in fun activities designed to strengthen motor skills and hand/eye coordination. They meet once a week for 45 minutes. Because of increased coordination, retention abilities, and attention span, 5-6 year old children may choose to take ballet, tap, jazz and/or acrobatics. At this level, we will use a variety of activities and games to emphasize proper technique and terminology. Each class will meet once a week for 45 minutes. Students 7 years old and up may choose from ballet, tap, jazz, acrobatics, hip-hop and/or lyrical classes. Depending on the class, they will meet for 45-60 minutes per class. They may also choose to audition for one or more of our competitive groups. Studio 68 has four levels for competitive dancers, and each level has four companies: ballet, tap, jazz and lyrical. Of course, students may also choose not to join these groups and continue dancing in our Traditional Track classes. Based on the amount of interest, Adults can choose from ballet, tap, or jazz. We also occasionally offer exercise-based classes, such as Zumba, Pilates, Yoga, and Callanetics. New exercise classes will be offered based on interest, so we welcome your suggestions. No previous dance experience is necessary; we ask only that you have fun and be willing to try new things. More advanced classes may be offered if there is enough interest. (Note: We use August 15th as our age cut-off date when determining class placement.)
