​
Ballet
Classical ballet technique classes are offered for all levels from beginning to pointe. The Harbor School's child-centric approach values a body positive, inclusive and supportive environment for young learners. With both technique and artistry at it's core, ballet is a valuable skill for many dancers and athletes alike; often linked to improved performance and injury prevention.
Jazz Dance
A Great American dance style that encompasses African and European roots while embracing popular and jazz music. From Broadway to New Orleans and all the way to Homer, Alaska, this dance style takes students on a journey through America past and present using isolations, turns, leaps, jazz squares, kick lines, and the ever-popular "jazz hands."
Contemporary &
Lyrical
Contemporary and Lyrical dance classes offer dancers a more expressive and emotive class experience. While both genres fuse ballet, jazz and sometimes other genres as well, Contemporary often includes more floor work and is better suited for more mature dancers. For younger artists, we encourage Lyrical as an introduction to more modern dance styles.
PreDance
For Preschool, Kindergarten and some early Elementary aged students, we offer introductory movement classes that incorporate dance terminology with necessary benchmark coordination skills. This child-centric approach allows students to develop their dance and movement skills at an appropriate and gentle pace.
