Our Dance Classes in South Miami

Jazz Dance Classes

Jazz is a high-energy dance style based on modern dance. It is rhythmic, versatile, and fast-paced, making it fun for everyone.

Our jazz classes focus on timing and precision. The instructors at Miami Dance Studio are passionate about teaching students the best techniques. The style is sharp and clean, with smooth transitions, fluidity, and a touch of elegance that gracefully makes the dancer move.

Given jazz’s physicality, our instructors will teach you to be fast and flexible when you perform. You will learn the complex rhythms and gain physical fitness and mental agility.

In addition, Jazz offers a lot of freedom and room for creativity. Throughout the classes, our instructors will teach you the importance of showmanship and stage presence, which are essential for jazz performance.

Contemporary Dance Classes

Contemporary dance is a favorite among dancers. It’s a beautiful art form where you can express yourself and your emotions.

This dance combines modern, jazz, and ballet and can be completely improvised, allowing dancers to interpret it in new and unexpected ways.

One thing about contemporary dance is that it challenges the dancers with flexibility, strength, balance, and agility. You have to connect deep within your body to reach your maximum potential so your body can move in ways you never thought it could.

Our MDP instructors will allow you to express yourself entirely with our contemporary dance training.

Once you know the dance, you’ll have more knowledge and awareness of the genre and your body. 

Ballet Dance Classes

Ballet is the foundation of many of today’s dances, such as modern, jazz, and contemporary. It requires technique, grace, and discipline. Our Ballet classes will teach you the strategies and build a strong foundation.

Our classes help dancers develop good posture and precise movement. Our instructors also work on balance enhancement, flexibility, and strength.

The techniques will teach you discipline, pride, and mastery of one of the oldest dances in modern history.

With the core of ballet, dancers can open doors to learning other dance styles by utilizing ballet’s movement. 

Hip-Hop Dance Classes

MDP also offers classes for street dances such as hip-hop, a high-energy and precise dance that allows all dancers to express themselves.

With hip-hop dance, we don’t just teach the dance and moves; we also teach the culture behind hip-hop and get into it to understand it.

Our instructors will teach you the many techniques and moves, such as breaking, popping, and locking. This style requires dancers to be fast and agile with high-rhythmic moves.

Once you learn the basics, you can use your creativity to break into these extraordinary dances.

Flamenco Dance Classes

Flamenco is one of the most popular dances in Spain. This style has unique footwork and expressive movements, making it a beautiful and mesmerizing dance.

Our instructors will first teach the history of the Spanish dance so you can understand how this style evolved. We have to get into the culture first before we dance.

They will teach you the basics with vibrant footwork that will help you build a solid core to put on a great show. Flamenco also allows dancers to use emotions while dancing and tell a story to the audience.

You won’t regret this class when you sign up for it. Don’t be afraid to get into a beautiful cultural dance.
