Discover The Perfect Class For Your Dancer

Ballet

Ballet is the foundation of all dance forms, focusing on technique, posture, alignment, and grace. It develops discipline, strength, and musicality, and is essential training for dancers of all levels and styles.

Our Teaching Approach:

At Renner Dance, ballet is taught with a strong emphasis on both technical precision and artistry—within an environment that values encouragement, effort, and safe progression. We promote healthy technique while helping each dancer build strength, confidence, and focus.

Acro

Acro dance combines classical dance technique with athletic acrobatic elements. It emphasizes flexibility, strength, balance, and coordination. Dancers learn to seamlessly integrate tricks and tumbling into choreography.

Our Teaching Approach:

Our acro classes prioritize proper body mechanics, safe spotting, and confidence-building. Students are encouraged to progress at their own pace while developing the strength and flexibility required for more advanced skills.

Contemporary

Contemporary dance blends elements of ballet, jazz, and modern technique to explore fluidity, emotional expression, and musical interpretation. It encourages individuality and personal storytelling through movement.

Our Teaching Approach:

In contemporary, we focus on helping dancers find their unique voice while building strong technique. Our instructors promote exploration, emotional depth, and a respect for musical nuance—all within a safe, fun, and technically sound environment.

Jazz

Jazz dance is high-energy and dynamic, characterized by sharp lines, rhythmic footwork, and stylistic flair. It combines technique with performance quality and is often featured in musical theatre and commercial dance.

Our Teaching Approach:

Jazz classes at Renner emphasize strong foundational technique, dynamic movement, and musicality. Students learn combinations that challenge their strength, precision, and performance presence—always in a fun and engaging setting.

Tap

Tap dance is a rhythmic and percussive style where dancers use their feet like instruments. It develops musicality, timing, and coordination through intricate footwork and sound patterns.

Our Teaching Approach:

Our tap program is built on clarity of sound, musical phrasing, and creativity. We create a positive, upbeat space where dancers of all ages can explore rhythm and expression while learning foundational to advanced tap vocabulary.

Hip Hop

Hip hop is a high-energy street style rooted in rhythm, freestyle, and individuality. It emphasizes groove, attitude, and self-expression, and often features styles like popping, locking, and breaking.

Our Teaching Approach:

We provide a supportive, high-energy space where students can build confidence, learn foundational moves, and enjoy the freedom to express themselves. Technique, musicality, and clean execution are reinforced at every level.

Lyrical

Lyrical dance blends elements of ballet and jazz to create emotive, expressive movement that interprets music and lyrics. It’s graceful and fluid, often telling a story or conveying feeling through dance.

Our Teaching Approach:

In lyrical, we focus on connection—to the music, the story, and the audience. Dancers learn to balance emotion with control, strength with softness, and technique with artistry—all in a nurturing and encouraging environment.
