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.

  • Ballet I-IV (Ages 13-18)

    The ballet curriculum of ODC’s Youth & Teen Program prioritizes a healthy, body-positive, injury-free technique cultivated through alignment, strength, flexibility, and focus. Students are encouraged to develop a mastery of technique, informed by somatic awareness and enjoyment. Pointe technique is introduced to students as recommended by ballet faculty. Classes participate in a dedicated ballet showcase 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 2-3, 2026, or in a Guardian Observation Day at the end of the session.

  • Teen Tap I (Ages 12-18) Teen Tap II (Ages 12-18)

    Tap is a percussive dance form. It 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 embodied in this dance style.

    * These classes participate in the May Showcase, May 2-3, 2026, or in a Guardian Observation Day at the end of the session.

  • Step Onstage Group C | Ages 14-18

Students learn choreography from the directors, as well as offer their own creative contributions. Teachers will mentor each individual student and guide the class that values curiosity, imagination and exploration. This class is essential to ODC’s Youth & Teen Contemporary Class curricula. Tuition for Step Onstage is included in these class prices. Tuition for Step Onstage C is included in Teen Contemporary II, III, and IV class prices.
