No prior dance experience required-it’s never too late to begin your dancing journey! Read more about our Adult Beginner Ballet instructor, Grace McCann, on our faculty page.
Adult Hip Hop
Here at Center Stage our Hip-Hop classes celebrate the uniqueness and creativity of each dancer who joins us. Hip-Hop reinforces freestyle movements and self-expression which is highly valued in the dance industry. Students will explore the various styles of hip hop, including the latest skills, popping, locking, waving, whacking, and many more. Dance along to various forms of music from 80s hip-hop to today’s hits.
Adult Tap
Rhythm and Broadway tap – We’ve got it all!!! For anyone who has been excited by the syncopated rhythms of a tap dancer’s feet, we have a class for you. From the earliest part of the century when tap stars topped vaudeville marquees and flappers filled the Broadway stage, to the MGM movie classics with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers gliding across the screen, to Brenda Bufalino, Savion Glover and Jason Samuels Smith filling a stage today with their marvelous sounds. Tap dance is part of the American culture. We help keep this American art form ‘alive and well’ with classes for Beginners to Advanced levels for adults. Our tap choreography has won countless national awards as well as Paula Abdul’s “Company Dance” finals broadcast on national television.
Adult Acting
An adult approach to the problems and challenges of acting. The emphasis will be on the three basic requirements of acting: relaxation, concentration, and imagination. We will be working on making the actor feel comfortable being him/herself in front of an audience without “play-acting” or showing off. You can’t be another character until you can be yourself. There will be some theatre games based on the highly regarded work of Viola Spolin (you’re never too old to play), as well as scene work and vocal and physical training.
