CLASSES OFFERED
BALLET
The foundation of all dance
Ballet technique class emphasizes placement, ease of movement, and musicality. Careful explanations of exercises and theory help students to use the ballet vocabulary in a simple, practical method. Exercises at the barre prepare for more difficult rhythms and combinations in the center.
jazz
Jazz utilizes sharp and fluid movements to create a visually technical dance and style. It is usually done to popular music. Body isolations, stretch, turning, leaping, and technical steps are taught in this class.
tap
Tap tackles rhythm, syncopation, and musicality. These classes are composed of warm-ups followed by stylized movements across the floor and aggressive, funky, rhythm-oriented combinations.
Modern
This style teaches the body to move as an expressive tool: body/spatial/sensory awareness, structures and alignment, stage presence, and gesture.
Contemporary
A style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical, and classical ballet.
Progressing Ballet Technique
Progressing Ballet Technique is an innovative program developed by Marie Walton-Mahon for students to understand the depth of training muscle memory in achieving their personal best in classical ballet.
Pilates
Pilates is an exercise and physical rehabilitation technique created as a series of controlled movements requiring focus and concentration to develop flexibility, balance, and strength without bulk. The Pilates method emphasizes “centering,” or the abdominal and torso area, balance, and breathing to create good posture and protect against injury.

Tumble/ Hip Hop (1 hour)
For children ages 3-5 years old. This class is designed for energetic little ones and combines the lively beats of hip hop with the excitement of tumbling. In this class, kids will learn basic hip hop dance moves while developing their coordination, balance and strength through age-appropriate tumbling exercises. With engaging music and playful activities; we'll spark creativity and confidence in every tiny dancer.
Hip Hop
Hip Hop tackles the combination of three main elements in hip hop dancing, popping, locking, as well as break dancing. Teachers focus on incorporating the rhythmic qualities of music into the dancers’ bodies. As there is no definite technique for hip hop dancing the emphasis is on finding a comfort zone for the dancer and instructors to encourage individuality and confidence in movement. Dancers enrolled in hip-hop classes are encouraged to train in jazz dance to become all-around jazz/hip-hop dancers.
Acro
Acro Dance is the beautiful fusion of classic dance techniques and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. Often defined by unique choreography, acro dancers seamlessly blend musicality, emotional expression, line, and extension with acrobatic movements in a dance context.
Adult Program
We have adult classes throughout the week including pilates, ballroom, hiphop and barre/stretch! No experience required! Ask about our class passes!
Testimonials
Literally every parent and teacher is kind. There is NO drama. I chose the studio because your recitals are professional, the class choices, focus on technique are all what was important to me. I also wanted a studio with a competition team that was like a family.

Inclusivity. On our first phone call you had me at flesh colored tights for ballet
-Gondola Family
I had been searching for an adult ballet class for YEARS, and Sam finally found PBADA for me. Everyone was SO kind, and I looked forward to my class every single week. During those classes I saw your determination to grow something really important, and I saw your heart in the way you wanted to do it. The way you talked about the PBCo dancers made me know that if Grey wanted to ever pursue dance, that this was going to be a safe and loving place.
Now that Grey is dancing, I see the way the older girls inspire her to reach high. She has built in superstars to aspire to be! I cried during the first winter showcase Grey was in. Seeing the work that the company kids were putting into their art and how, even at a young age, they were able to tell rich stories through their movement was so freaking cool. That comes from the instruction, the teachers, and the choreography. The love you guys have for these kids is insane and I know that you believe in Grey and push her in ways that only a parental figure could. Calling her out when she’s not where she should be, and praising her when she is. We trust you and put our kids in your hands, and they grow and thrive because of it.
A village is vital to raising young kids. Knowing that I can reach out to so many other moms if I ever needed help is like a safety net that is made of gold. Every time I talk about it I get emotional! I just feel so lucky to be walking down this path with really incredible parents, and knowing that we’re creating this really great childhood for our kids is amazing.
So, in short, you’re stuck with us forever 💜
-Infantino Family
When I first started looking for studios Aurora was only 2 and I knew I wanted a place that she could grow in no matter what style of dance she fell in love with. So I was looking for a studio that offered it all, an emotionally healthy environment, wide variety of classes for all ages, as well as a competitive team (in case she wanted to take the route - which clearly she did). We found all of that here and couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.
