Company Classes

For our company classes we emphasize joy. We sincerely believe that a child cannot learn to dance until they have learned to love dance. 

Our performing companies give children the opportunity to learn, grow, and share their talents.  We welcome girls and boys ages 3-18 to join us for these classes.

Company classes are taught once a week.  They teach a variety of styles which include ballet, jazz, tap, and tumbling.  The base of every company class is ballet, although in the younger classes that manifests as creative dance. 

Unlimited Pass

 Our unlimited pass is for passionate dancers 6 and up who want to unlock their full potential and explore all that the world of dance has to offer.  

The beauty of our unlimited pass is that it is customizable to you and your family's needs. You can take between and 1-10 hours of dance technique a week.

A child who dances 1 hour a week is just as valued as a child who dances 10.

Adult Classes

Why let children have all the fun?  Dancing is a wonderful source of exercise and socialization. 

We offer adult ballet, ballroom, and coming soon...yoga!

Fall Companies 

Burn Bright is committed to supporting families and being respectful of your time.  That is why we teach lengthy combo classes once a week rather than asking you to drive your child to multiple short classes.  We have learned over the years that children tend to thrive best when placed with their friends in their same grade.  However our classes progress in difficulty as well as age, so if a child is feeling bored they are allowed to move up levels and if a child is feeling overwhelmed they are welcome to take a lower level. The sole consideration for class placement is the good of the child.  We don't divide classes by gender.  We have many boys in our company classes and they have just as much fun as the girls and are taught to dance with the same correct technique in a masculine way.

Fall Unlimited Pass

Our unlimited pass allows your dancer to take as many hours a week as they choose and helps them to unlock their full potential as dancers.

Tricks Class

1/3 Dance, including ballet and jazz
1/3 Stations that benefit both

Our tricks class is uniquely formatted to prepare students to audition for drill or cheer, as well as give them the joy that comes from being able to incorporate exciting turns, leaps, and tumbling skills into their dancing.  It is taught one on one across a variety of stations with many different teachers.  This approach allows us to teach a wide variety of ages and skill levels in a single class and allows families with multiple students to all come to the same class.  This class is available to ages 6-18

Flexibility

 Thursdays 6:00-6:30

30 minutes of both active and passive stretching.

 

Our flexibility class will serve as an optional cool down to our tricks class.  Our focus is to help your children improve their flexibility in a methodic and safe way. When it comes to flexibility we are not out to win any races.  We prefer a slow and steady self motivated approach designed to prevent injuries.

Early Bird Ballet

Monday-Thursday 6:15-7:15

Mondays and Wednesdays advanced level ballet
Tuesdays and Thursdays open level ballet

Nothing is more beneficial to a dancer than a daily ballet class. They are the mainstay of any studio aiming to prepare their students for collegiate or professional dancing.  Even if a student doesn't have an eye towards that future they will enjoy the balance and flexibility that comes from doing ballet every day.  We offer our daily ballet class before school to free up our students evenings to spend with their families.  Advanced students may opt to take these classes en pointe.  Waking up this early is a big commitment so we only recommend these classes for high schoolers or extremely passional middle schoolers.

Early Bird Modern

 Friday 6:15-7:15

1 hour of modern technique

When you go to a college audition you are evaluated for acceptance into the dance program based on one ballet class, one modern class, and a one minute solo.  Many students who prepare in only jazz or ballet find themselves very flat footed for this audition.  That is why we are introducing a weekly modern technique class.  In addition to preparing kids for college it will also add an earthy and fluid dynamic to their quality of motion.  This class will be available to high schoolers as well as any middle schoolers who want to wake up that early.

Unlimited Pass Pricing

For Company Students: $50 a month in addition to their company tuition.

For Non-Company Students: $100 a month.

For an entire Family: $300 a month. This is our studio family limit.  For this amount your family can take all of the company and unlimited classes they want.

Buying an unlimited pass allows your dancer to take any of the unlimited classes appropriate for their age. We also throw in free adult classes for parents of unlimited dancers.

Summer Dance 

Summer is a great time to try new things without a huge commitment.  It is also a wonderful opportunity to focus on technique without the stress of performances.  Here at Burn Bright summer dance it is optional.  We never penalize students for needing a break or families for wanting more time together.  We are happy to see you all summer long or again in the fall.

Genres

 Learn more about what styles we teach, which classes they are incorporated into, and how they are beneficial.

Ballet

 Ballet is the root of all technical forms of dance. For students who want to dance at a collegiate or professional level, ballet is an indispensable skill. It teaches correct alignment, terminology, and turn out, which opens up a range of motion essential for students to reach their full potential in strength and flexibility. 

It also helps students develop the muscle strength necessary to do moves correctly and therefore prevent injuries caused by dancing with improper technique.

Pointe

 Students who are passionate about ballet have the option of enrolling in pointe classes. Pointe work is the culmination of ballet training and classes will focus on grace and safety.

Jazz

Our jazz program will prepare students to participate in high school activities such as cheerleading or drill team. We will teach children to move with bold, sharp and clean movements. We will also incorporate other styles of jazz, such as Broadway and contemporary. Students will learn the jumps, kicks and turns associated with this style of dance.

We keep our jazz appropriate. This is a delicate balance. I don't want my students to feel ashamed of any part of their bodies, so we do bounce our hips and shake our shoulders. However, we do not do moves that are suggestive, we dance to clean music, and you will never see our dancers shake their backsides towards the audience. 

Tap

Company students take tap up through middle school and have the option to continue after that. Tap helps students learn musicality and rhythm with the unintended benefit of strengthening their ankles for pointe work.  Tap is also an indispensable skill for any dancer wanting to pursue musical theater.

Tumbling

Tumbling adds an exciting and powerful dynamic to a student’s choreography. Tumbling gives students tremendous strength; advanced jumps and leaps come easily to students who tumble. It also develops flexibility, particularly in students’ backs, that will help them create beautiful lines in their movements, particularly in arabesque extensions.  Some tumbling skill have become required to join high school and college drill and cheer teams.  We offer tumbling in all of our company classes, and it is heavily incorporated into our tricks class.

Modern

Modern gives students a huge boost who want to dance in college because a full third of a college dance audition is devoted to modern dance. This style helps students learn to connect with the floor, incorporate weight and breath into their dancing, express themselves creatively and learn a more earthy and dynamic way of moving with a fluid spine.  We are the only studio in the valley to offer weekly modern classes.  They will also be offered in our deep dive clinics.

Hip-hop

Hip-hop is the most commercially viable form of dance. Music videos, commercials and live entertainment providers often seek out hip-hop dancers. Hip-hop can be incorporated into other styles of dance to keep the movement fresh and exciting. It also introduces exclusive qualities of motion, including isolations and pop and lock.  Hip hop will be heavily incorporated into our deep dive clinics.

Contemporary

Contemporary is a fancy way of saying a dancer can move however they want, but it generally includes a combination of ballet, jazz, modern and hip-hop. Contemporary flows from one style to another indiscriminately from one moment to the next. It is an incredibly difficult dance style.

We expose our students to many styles of dance so they can combine them for this style. Contemporary is currently the most popular dance style seen on TV and the internet, which inspires children to learn it. Our contemporary classes focus not only on movement but also execution.
 
We incorporate contemporary in our deep dive clinics as well as in our company choreography.  Students will advance in musicality and artistry, allowing them to enjoy the freedom of expression that comes from this unique form of dance. 

Dance Conditioning

Focused dance conditioning boosts the strength, flexibility and habits that students need to refine their skills. Every month we will have a different focus that will be incorporated in each of our classes.

These focuses include balance and placement, cardiovascular endurance, footwork and turn out, flexibility, extensions, jumps and leaps, turns, artistry and musicality. 

Dance conditioning is incorporated into every class we offer.
