July Punch Pass

WHY WE LOVE PUNCH PASSES!

  • We know that summer schedules are busy and it's hard to commit to a weekly class.

  • With the punch pass systems there is no pressure to attend a set weekly schedule, but allows the opportunity to attend multiple times per week if desired!

  • We offer at least two classes back to back (i.e. an hour of cheer then hour of tumbling) where you can choose to stay for 1 or multiple classes that day.

  • You have the option to choose anywhere from 4 to 24 punches (each punch = 1 60-min. class).

  • Punch Pass classes begin- July 3rd- July 27th

Details, dates & schedule below. For pricing please, go to our summer pricing page.

JULY SCHEDULE

4 weeks of punch pass classes, July 3-27th

IMPORTANT: Be sure to refer to the technique levels chart (to the right) so you attend the correct class! Level matters more than age.

Class Descriptions & Attire

  • For ALL summer classes: Hair must be pulled back out of face, off of shoulders.

  • Students may wear anything (movable) that brings them joy! Most choose to wear leotards, some add tutus. Bare feet.

  • These classes split their time between ballet and jazz (see ballet and jazz definitions below). Any Leotard. Level 1-2 can go bare foot or wear ballet/jazz shoes. Level 3-6 need ballet flats or half sole dance shoe or foot undeez.

  • We focus mostly on jazz technique (turns, leaps etc), but will also learn some choreography combos as well. Wear anything form fitting, leotards are preferred. Most of you will also have ballet the same day, ballet attire works great. Half sole dance shoe or foot undeez.

  • Classes will work on classical ballet skill at both the barre and center floor. While our methods are classic, we do like to use Disney music or popular radio music to keep it fun! Wear pink ballet flats, any style black leotard, pink tights. If you are staying for jazz/acro, we recommend convertible tights.

  • Tumbling is the "floor" section of gymnastics. However we use non spring mats to better prep students to be able to tumble in dance routines and make future high school teams.

    We have lots of training equipment and instructors who are qualified to spot. Come with bare feet and anything you can move in! Keep in mind, You will likely be up side down so you may prefer a form fitted top, or shirt that will stay tucked in.

  • We focus on jumps, angles, and (cheer) dances in the summer. We do stunt a little as well (but will focus on this more heavily in the fall with our set teams). Cheer shoes or light weight tennis shoes, shorts and any top. Form fitting is preferred for correcting form.

  • We focus mostly on fundamentals (Popping, waving etc) but also teach choreography combos. Wear tennis shoes and anything you can move in!
