Classes & Schedule
Clogging
Ages 5 & Up
Clogging is an American folk dance that mixes many different parts of other folk dances to create a melting pot style that has been a part of our area for centuries. Our most popular style of dance, clogging is fun and energetic for all ages. Each season we have clogging classes for all age ranges and skill levels. Requirements: Preferably 1+ years of tap for our youngest dancers.
Hip-Hop
Ages 4 & Up
Hip-hop is another dance style that is very energetic and fast paced. Usually performed to modern music in the style of Pop or R&B, hip-hop dancing has been a big hit with dancers young and old over the past 20 years since it was first offered as a class. Requirements: No previous dance required.
Ballet
Ages 3 & Up
The most classical style of dance, ballet has been offered at Cripple Creek for more than 30 years. A great beginner level dance, many young dancers choose this as their first class because ballet helps teach body control and flexibility. We have several ballet classes offered from beginner to the most experienced ballet styles including pointe. Requirements: Upper level ballet classes such as pointe require previous ballet experience and approval from our ballet teacher.
Tap
Ages 3 & Up
Much like clogging, tap is a percussive style dance that lends itself to high energy performance numbers. Perfect for beginner dancers, tap helps with fine motor functions and body control while also being very active. Cripple Creek offers all levels of tap for any age. Requirements: No previous dance required.
Jazz
Ages 3 & Up
Jazz dance began as a offshoot of ballet and is great for dancers of many different ages and experience levels. Jazz retains many aspects of ballet including body control and linear style but can be much more energetic and fast paced. Requirements: No previous dance required.
Lyrical
Ages 12 & Up
In lyrical, classical ballet technique is blended with jazz dance to create a more contemporary style of dance. Lyrical also features dancing to more modern music and can also feature the use of props when performing. Requirements: Preferably at least one year of ballet or jazz but the instructor can make acceptions.
Theatre Dance
Ages 7 & Up
This style utilizes elements from ballet, jazz, tap & hip-hop in order to tell a story with emphasis on acting and performance. Classes often spend many classes recreating famous choreography from famous musicals like Chicago, Annie, and A Chorus Line. Requirements: At least one year in jazz or hip-hop is preferred.
Jamboree
Ages 2-4
Jamboree is a creative movement class for our youngest dancers. It mixes several styles including jazz, ballet, hip-hop and some tumbling. This class helps children learn rhythm and encourages confidence in working with others. The class often utilizes instruments to help young people with their musical skills. Requirements: No previous dance required.
Art
Ages 5-12
In our art class, we explore different styles of art and work in various different mediums. We learn about artists and explore their unique skills. The goal of this class is to encourage children to have the confidence to try new things and bring their visions to life. Requirements: None.
