Ballet

Ballet

Our ballet classes focus on the technique and expression of this classical dance form. Students will learn the foundations of this style, adding focus on personal expression and character portrayal as they progress. Each class will include barre work, center work, and leaps and jumps across the floor, as we seek to strengthen muscle groups and develop motor skills and flexibility.

Flex & Acro

Acro-dance and Flexibility classes are a great way to pack a lot of technical training into fun segments. Students in Acro will learn cartwheels, roundoffs, lifts, flips, stage tricks, and so much more! Our flexibility classes are a chance to focus on proper development of flexibility in a way that safely promotes muscle elasticity and strength.

​

These classes are a great addition to any technique classes!

Lyrical

Lyrical

Lyrical is a beautifully expressive dance style. Its is a Jazz-based dance form with many similarities borrowed from Ballet. It is most often danced to music with lyrics, and is focused on the deeply emotional expression of movement.

Students in a lyrical class greatly benefit from also being enrolled in a Jazz or Ballet technique class.

Join a class that will keep you literally tapping your toes! Our littlest tap-dancers learn this style in ballet/tap combo classes, but students in approx. 2nd grade and higher have the chance to study with Miss Kelsey.

Company

Company

At PBDC, our dance company is comprised of students who love to dance, and love to perform. Being part of Company means a lot of extra fun with your dance friends, but it is also requires commitment — you’re part of a team that depends on each member. 

Company requires extra classes, as it is primarily a performance group. The dancers will also frequently travel to local malls, respite centers, and retirement communities to share the joy of dance.
