RECREATIONAL PROGRAM
Our recreational program caters to those who want to dance for pure enjoyment. Dancers are offered flexible schedules, and can dance for as many weekly hours as they wish! We offer recreational classes in a wide range of styles such as Tap, Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Acro. Dancers will then perform routines at our end of year Recital.
We pride ourselves on the quality of our teachers for all of our programs, including Recreational. Many of our recreational dancers transition to our Company or Competitive programs after a few years, which speaks to the quality of training they are receiving.
Rhythm is proud to offer a wide range of classes to all its students!

-
A first time drop off program for young budding dancers. Basic jazz and ballet steps are learned through fun and creative movement. Children will learn to march, jump, hop and skip as well as combine steps into fun and entertaining dance routines. This is a wonderful class for self expression and developing a sense of independence through music and movement.
-
Mini dance is a progression from the Pre Dance class. This class enables the dancer to build confidence and social skills. Mini Dance incorporates the fundamentals of Ballet and Jazz and enables the dancers to express their love for movement and music in a fun and creative environment. Dancers will learn to combine steps and progress into performing routines from a combination of class exercises.
-
Combo classes include Jazz/Tap and Acro/Jazz, and introduce JK/SK dancers to two styles in one class! To learn more about what each of these styles means, read the descriptions below
-
Jazz is a fundamental dance form that compliments all other dance forms. Jazz classes are comprised of a warm-up, centre work and progressions including jumps and turns. Technique and style through choreography are emphasized. Students will learn jazz steps, progressive skills and jazz combinations and routines.
-
Acro is a combination of the floor work of gymnastics and Jazz movement. This class will improve flexibility, control and strength. Dancers will learn how to correctly and safely execute tricks. It is strongly recommended that dancers take a jazz or hip hop class to compliment their Acro training.
-
This is a form of dance that focuses on coordination, timing, and syncopated rhythm. Tap is an expression of movement through sound. Dancers will learn choreography by performing rhythm-based steps. Once you start tapping you will never want to stop!
-
Hip Hop is a fast-paced, high-energy form of dance and the emphasis is less on formal technique and more on personal style. Classes start with a warm-up designed to get the blood pumping and the muscles working intensely, and then students will move on to learning and perfecting difficult choreography.
