Ballet is the foundation for all dance styles taught at Ozark Dance Academy.

Ballet Class begins with barre work designed to teach body alignment, turn out and classical ballet technique. Center exercises without the barre develop strength and coordination.

Hip Hop Locking, Poppin’ and Breakin’ Classes begin with a basic warm-up then class will progress with hip-hop combinations.
