About Teen Classes

  • Teen Contemporary I-IV (Ages 13-18)

    The contemporary curriculum addresses full use of the body, expansive use of space, articulation, momentum, gravity, and gesture across all levels. Students explore new pathways of movement, with an emphasis on improvisation, composition, and creative expression. Students in Teen Contemporary classes are required to simultaneously enroll into Step Onstage (Group C, see below). 

  • Ballet I-IV (Ages 13-18)

    ODC’s ballet curriculum prioritizes healthy, body-positive, injury-free approach cultivated through alignment, strength, flexibility, and solid technique. The training is informed by somatic awareness and the joy of movement. Pointe technique is introduced to students as recommended by ballet faculty. Classes participate in a dedicated Ballet Performance in May.

  • Teen Hip Hop (Ages 13-18)

     These physically-charged classes incorporate various street styles, including pop-locking, breaking, and freestyling. Students develop movement quality and musicality, while also exploring improvisation and group collaboration.  

    *This class participates in the May Showcase, May 15-16, 2027, or in a guardian observation day at the end of the session.

  • Teen Tap 

    This percussive dance form emphasizes musicality through keen listening and the embodiment of rhythm. Students explore coordination, precision of movement, weight shift, balance, and choreography, while also enjoying the physicality and exuberance required for this dance form. 

    *This class participates in the May Showcase, May 15-16, 2027, or in a guardian observation day at the end of the session.

  • Step Onstage Group C (Ages 14-18)

    Tuesday, 6:00-7:30 PM PT
    Tuition | $992

    These yearlong classes are an addition to contemporary technique classes, rehearsing weekly and culminating in  a full-length piece to be performed in  May, with a preview performance in December. Students rehearse most of the year with their age groups, 8-12 (Groups A and B) and 13-18 (Group C). Students learn choreography from the directors, as well as offer their own creative contributions.  Teachers will mentor each individual student, encouraging imagination and exploration, while valuing their curiosity. This class is essential to ODC’s Youth & Teen Contemporary Class curricula, providing performance training and preparation. Tuition for Step Onstage C is included in Teen Contemporary II, III, and IV class prices.

    *This class participates in the December and May Showcases on December 5-6, 2026, and May 15-16, 2027.
    *** Students must be enrolled in an additional technique class to register for Step Onstage.
