C.R. & Co offers traditional classes in the following genres: Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop and Acro. Traditional classes perform twice a year in our annual Winter and Spring Dance Showcase. Students who do not make the competition team or do not want to compete should participate in Traditional program classes.

​

Competitive Program:

All competitive students must take Ballet weekly and attend one Comp Academy class a month to work on their flexibility, stretch and technique to ensure a successful competitive season. Competitive students are exposed to special workshops, teachings, and field trip experiences to help bring history lessons to their modern life dance experiences. Competitive classes are mandatory and are offered in: Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Lyrical and contemporary. Students wishing to join the competition team must participate in Summer Intensive to be evaluated. Students who do not make the competition team or do not wish to compete, should participate in Traditional program classes.

​

Preschool Learn N’ Dance Program (Ages 3 & 4):

This year we will offer a joint pre-school program of Ballet and Jazz class. Students will learn basic dance skills and choreography to be performed in our annual Winter and Spring Showcases. Classes will be held once a week each for 45 minutes. Students will take Ballet from September to January and Jazz from February to June. There will be fun monthly themes for students and families to participate in to encourage learning and social-emotional growth. At the end of each class, students are awarded a sticker for successful class completion.
