The programs are structured so that every student is challenged at the appropriate level to meet their needs.
Jazz
Jazz is a popular dance form as it is an energetic, technical and fun dance format. Classes include warm-up, stretching, combinations across the floor and fun, fast and technical choreography! Jazz dance can be seen everywhere from dance music videos to hit Broadway Shows.
Tap
“Making music with your feet.” This form of dance is becoming increasingly popular as more and more students learn how much fun it is to make rhythms with their feet. At Dance Theme, we offer quality training in the Al Gilbert Syllabus as well as open classes.
Ballet
Ballet is the fundamental dance form. It develops grace, coordination and correct posture. The Royal Academy of Dance (R.A.D.), is offered at Dance Theme. It is internationally recognized and sets a standard for developing technical and artistic proficiency.

Lyrical
Contemporary
Lyrical is a powerful dance form that is a combination of jazz and ballet techniques. As well as teaching technique, lyrical develops a student’s emotional interpretation of dance. Routines are choreographed to ballads. Previous ballet and/or jazz training is a pre-requisite.
Contemporary dance is a genre that developed during the mid twentieth century and has since grown to become one of the dominant genres for formally trained dancers throughout the world. Due to its technical similarities, it is often perceived to be closely related to modern dance, ballet and other classical dance styles.
DTA Musical Theatre Company
The new DTA Musical Theatre Company combines songs, acting, and dance. The program teaches jazz dance choreography, vocal and acting instruction in a fun and creative environment!

Hip Hop
Hip Hop dance is a style primarily danced to hip hop music. It includes a wide range of styles including breaking, locking and popping. What separates Hip Hop from other styles is that it is often freestyle in nature. Hip Hop is seen on many music videos.
