Horton Technique is one of the classic forms of American dance, a codified series of movements which
emphasizes a whole body, anatomical approach. Its focus on flexibility, coordination, and precision lends it
well to dramatic expression and performance. Horton Technique is frequently implemented in jazz classes,
and the discipline it develops crosses over into ballet and contemporary dance as well.
POINTE
TUE 7-8 FRI 5-6:30
Students who are on pointe must take all required technique ballet classes within their levels. Readiness
for pointe work is determined by each student’s strength and physical development, not by their age. The
instructor will advise parents when a student has the necessary strength and maturity to go on pointe.
