Turns Class


Elevate your turns, build core strength, and master your technique in a focused and supportive environment. This class is open to dancers of all levels, from those learning their first pirouette to those working on advanced multi-turn combinations. Designed to benefit dancers in Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Lyrical, and Hip-Hop, the 45-minute class is dedicated entirely to the science of turning. Dancers will develop targeted strength through exercises that build a strong core and stable ankles, refine their technique with step-by-step instruction on spotting, alignment, and balance, and progress through drills that can be adapted from beginner skills to advanced combinations. Whether your goal is to improve control, increase consistency, or gain confidence in your turns, this class will help you spin beautifully in any style of dance.

PERFORMING ACRO DANCE



Classes Added to the 2026/27 Season


Acro Dance Classes will be offered on Friday afternoons starting this Fall and will perform in DNE’s 2027 Festival of Dance.


Acro dance is a style of dance that combines the artistic movements of dance with the strength, flexibility, and athletic skills of acrobatics. It blends techniques from styles such as jazz and lyrical with acrobatic elements like rolls, handstands, cartwheels, walkovers, and aerials. Acro dance focuses on smooth transitions and musicality allowing acrobatic skills to flow naturally within the choreography. This unique style challenges dancers to develop both technical dance ability and physical strength while creating dynamic and expressive performances.
