Rigour and self expression

This ballet-based program teaches self-expression through dance technique fundamentals. Students learn to appreciate and enjoy movement, musicality, rhythmical awareness, and movement vocabulary. Beyond Ballet, classes are offered in Jazz, Contemporary, Modern, and Repetoire.

General Program levels

The General Program provides many avenues into explorations of dance study for students looking to study dance recreationally within levels grouped by academic grades.

Among these levels, Arts Umbrella also offers programs just for boys, programs for teens, and intensive programs for those who would like to pursue more rigorous training and potentially move into our Professional Program in older levels. All students have the opportunity to explore dance as artists, performers, audience members, and professionals.

See below for more information about each level.
