GYD offers Contemporary Technique, Jazz, Ballet and Hip Hop classes for Adults

Hip Hop

Our lyrical hip hop style classes are energetic and engaging. Hip hop is a street style dance which encourages self expression and freestyling execution. Learn to express yourself through dynamic movements while building confidence and a sense of rhythm. The atmosphere is fun, encouraging and supportive. No previous dance experience required.

Ballet Basics

Discover the fundamentals of classical ballet in a warm and welcoming studio environment. This class introduces foundational techniques through preparatory exercises at the barre and builds toward graceful, flowing movements in the center. Ballet Basics offers a thoughtful approach to softening, stretching, strengthening, and coordinating your body, while exploring elegant sequences that are as enjoyable to learn as they are to perform. Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to reconnect with the beauty of ballet.

Contemporary Technique

Rooted in classical ballet vocabulary with a strong emphasis on torso articulation and expression, the contemporary technique classes encourage alignment, form, coordination, musicality, strength, rhythm and kinetic intelligence. Contemporary Technique classes have live percussion. Intermediate level. Beginners are welcome!

Jazz

Following a balanced conditioning warm-up, funky combinations full of traveling steps, kicks, spins and isolations make this class both challenging and fun! This class is for any adults wanting to give Jazz dance a try. No experience necessary.

Classes are offered by Full Year (32 weeks) , Fall (14 weeks), Winter/Spring sessions (18 weeks).
