Everything Goes Dance teaches a variety of dance styles. We teach our students solid, classical technique and then embellish it with the latest dance combinations. Our offerings are truly international. In addition to our regular classes, we also sponsor several workshops each year, in which national and international dance stars share their art with our students. Click here for more information.

JAZZ
Imagine a Broadway stage ... the orchestra playing its heart out ... the chorus line behind you moving in perfect unison ... and you in the spotlight, flawlessly executing the choreography done by last year's Tony Award winner. That's Jazz dance!  It's flowing, rhythmic, hot, lyrical, expressive, and most of all, FUN!  Register for a Jazz class and learn some of the moves that keep Everything Goes dancers in the winner's circle at competitions and festivals throughout the region. Jazz classes are offered for students aged 7 - adult. Jazz classes are taught by Shannon Calderon Primeau.

LEAPS & TURNS

This is a specialty class for intermediate and advanced dancers who want to focus on leaps and turn combinations. This class is recommended for serious students who want to sharpen their technical ability. Students should be enrolled in a regular jazz or ballet class. This class will not perform in our Christmas or Spring productions. Taught by Erika Reyes.

BALLET/POINTE
Ballet is the foundation of most of the dance genres. Our teachers, who hold degrees in ballet pedagogy, help students develop strength, coordination and grace. Our students are taught classical form in their earliest years of study, and later they build on that strong foundation, to dance with grace and beauty, as classical ballerinas or in other genres. Everything Goes offers ballet for ages 3-adult. Students may start pointe classes with the approval of an instructor. Except in rare cases, pointe students should be 12 years of age or older. Shannon Calderon Primeau, Lynna Schneider, Danni Kelly and Erika Reyes teach ballet.  

MODERN
Modern dance employs many of the forms and techniques of ballet but gets its inspiration from nature and from the diverse cultures of the world. Imagine moving like a dolphin, portraying a mountain, becoming a melody. Modern dance is not hindered by any preconceived notions and is one of the most creative forms of dance. Lynna Schneider teaches Modern dance at Everything Goes. Classes are open to dancers aged 7 and older.

TAP
From the old-style Vaudeville hoofers to modern sensations like TAP DOGS and Stomp! and incorporating moves from across the globe, our tap teachers keep things moving. Tap classes are offered for students in first grade and older. Several moms tap alongside their children, too!  Our classes emphasize rhythmic shading, dynamic shading, musicaity, tonality and style. Our tap teachers are Erika Reyes, Shannon Primeau and Prof. Robert L. Reed.

LATIN
Hot moves, fast beats and loads of fun -- that's our Latin dance classes. If you've ever wanted to shine on the dance floor and make the music come alive, check out our Latin dance classes. Classes are open to men and women, age 15 and above. Lots of couples enjoy the classes. They're a great way to stay fit, have fun and meet new people. Shannon Calderon Primeau and Prof. Robert Reed, instructors.

HIP HOP
That could be YOU in the latest #1 music video! Hip Hop is just plain fun. You will learn the latest dance moves and have a great time. Open to dancers aged 5 - adult. Make sure to check it out!  Ernesto Calderon, instructor.

FLAMENCO
Flamenco is the classical dance form of many Hispanic cultures. Elegant, haunting and graceful, flamenco evokes images of courtly gentlemen, beautiful ladies and passionate emotions. Flamenco classes are offered for students ages 5 and above. Shannon Calderon Primeau and Erika Reyes are our flamenco instructors and choreographers.

MEXICAN FOLKLORIC
Erika Reyes teaches Mexican folkloric dancing. She has been instructing children and adults in the art of Mexican Folkloric dance for many years. Performed to traditional and contemporary music, Folkloric Dance is a bright, colorful, exuberant representation of Mexican culture.

 

PRESCHOOL BALLET

This class is for our littlest dancers.  It emphasizes fitness, flexibility, fun, artistic expression and learning to work with others and follow directions.  It lasts just 45 minutes -- the upper limit of young attention spans -- and is for children ages 3 and 4.  Dust your little one's feet with stardust and start 'em on a lifetime road of enjoyment, artistry and fitness. Classes are taught by Shannon Calderon Primeau.
