ALICATS DANCE CLASSES

ALICATS Dance Studio was established to bring exceptional dance instruction to Flowery Branch and its surrounding areas. We offer a wide range of options for children and adults.
5 REASONS THAT 
MAKE US THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR YOU

1. Smaller Class Sizes
Our smaller class sizes allow students to get more individual instruction from teachers, and as a result, progress at a faster level than in a large class environment. Our smaller class sizes also ensure that the teacher can catch any imperfections before they turn into bad habits or improper techniques.

2. Variety of Dance Styles & Methods
Highly qualified teachers with varied training and teaching methods are available to teach a broad range of dance formats. These include, but are not limited to, Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Modern, Hip-Hop, and Character.

3. Our Dance Studio Advantage - The "Floating" Professional Dance Floor
Our "Floating" Dance Floor rests on a system of high density foam to absorb the shock and impact of regular dance movement. This benefits students by reducing fatigue and preventing injury that can result from dancing on hard surfaces.

The top layer of our flooring floor is a professional vinyl composite "Marley" surface similar to the surfaces used by Alvin Ailey modern dance company in New York, and shows such as Riverdance. This Marley floor surface has a certain amount of controlled slip to allow for sliding in dance movement, but is not slippery like common tiles or wood found in most other dance studios.

4. Music and Movement Classes - for ages 3-4
From the age of 3, children are given a fun introduction to the basics of dance. This program provides a solid foundation for future success in Ballet, Jazz, Tap as well as other styles.

5. Recitals, Festivals, and Competitions
Students are given performance experience in our year-end recital. Students also have the option to participate in festivals, and competitions throughout the year.

Company Classes
Company Classes are for those students who have chosen to focus on dance. These students often perform out at festivals and parades as well as attend one or two competitions a year.

Ballet Technique
Saturday Ballet is for students wanting to better their technique in turns, leaps, and barre. This class is very beneficial to any dancer who is in a company class, or who wants to be in a company class in the future.

Character
Character class combines theater and dance, teaching dancers important skills needed not only in dance but also in life. In this class different activities will be done to build dancers stage presence, which will also build their self-confidence.

Hip-Hop/Funk
Hip Hop is the only class which a student is allowed to take with out taking ballet. Hip Hop began in the streets of New York by people who had no formal dance training. Hip Hop is more than just a fun dance that kids enjoy doing. It teaches rhythm in a way very unique. It requires sharp movement usually isolated in one part of the body at a time. We understand the word Hip-Hop is scary to some parents, but we assure you that the music, costume and most importantly the movement is all age appropriate. ALICATS prides itself as a ?Family dance Studio? and will never do anything to jeopardize it?s reputation. If you ever have any concerns please feel free to contact Miss Alison at any time.
