Non Ballet Classes
Though our name says Toledo Ballet, we also offer many other exciting dance forms for those who would like to study other disciplines or styles.
Jazz And Lyrical Jazz (ages 7 and up): Lyrical jazz is a very fluid “balletic” style of jazz, which requires very solid ballet technique. Jazz class requires black jazz shoes, and it is highly recommended that students study ballet as well to acquire proper technique.
Modern: Modern is an earthy and free flowing form of dance with elements of jazz, ballet and styles unique to itself. It is usually done without shoes.
Hip Hop (ages 9 and up): Hip Hop is an Urban form of street dance which can be seen as performed by today’s top artists like Justin Timberlake and Beyonce’. It incorporates aspects of jazz and funk and is constantly evolving with the times.
