TILT DANCE COMPANY

CLASSES WE OFFER

At TDC we believe dance is a discipline that is only achieved with hard work, dedication and joy. 
We provide our students with a joyful dance experience through quality education, training and provide an atmosphere that will allow each student to grow and develop the TILT values.

Program for 18 months to 5 years of age

This program sets a foundation for technique, but also is a joyful class we can introduce the dancers to the world of dance.  

In this program there are 3 levels that explore creative movement and setting the foundation for locomotive skills. The dancers learn things like skip, hop, march, to walk on their tip toes etc.
These skills evolve into gallop and chasse etc.

All of this sets the groundwork to move into basic ballet positions.
The dancers are also learning basic stretches, how to make shapes with their bodies and helps improve their balance and coordination.

By level 2 they are rotating through tap. They learn basic tap moves that help them expand upon the balance and coordination they have learned in T&T1. Tap also helps them start to embrace rhythm and patterns.
This class also helps the dancers learn teamwork, cooperation and impulse control.

Level 3 puts into repetitive practice everything that was learned Levels 1-2. The dancers start to move more around the classroom exploring formations of dance while continuing to learn more ballet positions and skills.

Also they continue to explore tap moves that help them grow and develop the dynamic style. Tap will continue to support the dancers learning rhythm, tempo and musicality.

Students are any age 4-19 and are welcome at all ability levels

Everyone loves the opportunity to explore new dance moves taught in a variety of classes.  Our amazing Innovators make sure everyone gets individual attention while keeping the classes collaborative. At Tilt we do not separate our recreational dancers from our competition dancers. At TDC we believe dance is a discipline that is only achieved with hard work, dedication and joy. Our professional faculty provides quality dance training while making every effort to keep the playing field level. We place dancers into appropriate classes to suit their unique abilities, resulting in ALL TDC dancers being held to high standards of dance training.
The TDC Dance Education program sets a foundation for technique, but also is a creative and positive program where we can introduce the dancers to the world of dance.
