Expressions of Joy Dance Academy helps children and adults to develop their artistic and dance gifts for the glory of God. Our classes all emphasize the mastery of techniques to free performers’ minds for praise, worship and ministry. All of our classes are taught using Christian or classical music and we offer a variety of dance styles including MUSICAL THEATER. Thestudent/parent should always refer to the student HAND BOOK for any questions regarding the school, policies, calendar and performances. We offer a full dance curriculum with early and late afternoon and evening classes. Current areas of study include:

Ballet and Pointe
We offer ballet from age 3 through adult with a strong emphasis on the Vaganova syllabus. Pointe is offered for properly prepared ballerina’s age 11 and up. Classical as well as Christian music is used for classes. Josi Geyer and Erica Attwood teach in our ballet program.

Lyrical
This form is most popular with our church dance ministry students. It brings classical dance techniques into the interpretation of praise and worship music. Josi Geyer teaches our Lyrical classes.

Mime
Our Mime/Interpretation class is taught by Deanna McDaniel. She combines traditional Mime (whiteface and all) with Interpretive Dance. Her evangelistic choreographies are amazing!

Tap
Popular with kids and adults alike, tap provides a fun, energetic way to present all types of music. We offer several classes which combine tap with either creative movement (pre-ballet) or jazz, and now also advanced Rhythm tap. Alison Davis is the teacher.

Jazz
Alison Davis is also our lead jazz teacher. This class uses high energy contemporary music giving dancers great techniques in modern and classical jazz with a strenuous workout.

Hip-Hop
Josi Geyer, Alison Davis and Marc Fenton bring a variety of influences to our Hip-Hop dance classes.

Sharpen Your Skills
Recording artist Prodigal Son offers a five week boot-camp for vocalists teaching stagecraft, choreography and audience interaction.

Salsa
Michael Ruiz teaches Latin social dancing with a strong emphasis on LA-style Salsa. Our advanced classes prepare dancers for the Salsa Praise outreach team. For beginners and intermediate “Salseros” we offer a Casino Rueda program. This style is reminiscent of square dancing with named moves called by a leader, but the steps are pure Salsa!

Capoeira
This is actually a Brazilian martial art disguised as dance. Master Branca teaches kids and adults of both sexes, it is an excellent training vehicle and provides useful techniques for Hip-Hop as well.

IN THE YEAR OF 2008/2009, EXPRESSIONS OF JOY DANCE ACADEMY WILL ADD THE FOLLOWING CLASSES:

MODERN, FLAMENCO, TANGO, MESSIANIC, RHYTHM TAP AND MUSICAL THEATER!
