TC Dance offers dance instruction to students ages 3 through adult. Beginning to advanced classes are available in all areas and students are placed according to age and ability. In the past we have participated in local, regional and national dance competitions with great success. We also perform at the Kendallville Festival of the Trees. In addition to our annual concert we perform in other local area venues and nursing homes.
We also support a Competitive Dance Company - (Rising Stars, TCEttes, TCDancers) of our most elite dancers. These dancers participate in regional and national competitions in addition to our regular annual performances.
CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
BALLET: Offered to students ages 5 and up, ballet increases flexibility, poise, and grace. Ballet is the groundwork for all forms of dance and if taken as a supplement to another dance form, can instill discipline and body awareness. Ballet classes meet one to four times a week depending on the dancers level of ability.
TAP: Tap dancing develops a finely tuned sense of rhythm and musicality, and improves muscle control and strength in legs, ankles and feet. We offer tap to students from age 6 and up.
CLASSICAL JAZZ: This style of dance is offered to students ages 6 and up. The art of jazz dance ranges in style from classical to funk to lyrical. Jazz is very popular now with all age groups and provides discipline and flexibility.
HIP-HOP: The 90's version of high energy jazz is inspired by today's hip-hop music. This trendy dance craze is easy for all youth to pick up since it "moves with the music", and allows individuality in thought and expression. This style of dance is offered to students ages 6 and up.
PRIMARY COMBO CLASSES: A combination class of tap, ballet and tumbling that is designed to introduce basic tap and ballet steps, rhythms, tumbling and flexibility. Dancers must be potty trained and able to follow directions. It is a 45 minute class that meets once a week. This style of dance is offered to children ages 3-4.
