Kids and Teen Classes

Teens and tweens (ages 12-17) are invited to Sokol for yoga classes. 

Yoga

Students ages 12-17 develop their fitness through yoga classes.

Develop flexibility, coordination, and strength while nurturing musicality, individuality, and artistry. Students ages 2-13 learn dance vocabulary and technique in a variety of disciplines.

Creative movement: We foster a playful environment where young dancers can express themselves freely while developing essential motor skills and a natural love for rhythm. Students build flexibility, stamina, and coordination through engaging exercises that blend lively music and fun props. 

Ballet: Students are introduced to classical ballet vocabulary and technique through a traditional class progression beginning at the barre, continuing to the center, and moving across the floor. We’ll close class by dancing out the narratives of legendary ballets while moving to masterpieces by history’s greatest composers. Proper body alignment is developed alongside strength, grace, and a love for the timeless artistry of ballet. 

Hip-hop: This high-energy class introduces students to the fundamentals of hip-hop—from basic grooves to body isolations and dynamic footwork. We focus on musicality, stage presence, and building the confidence to own the floor. Dancers are encouraged to bring their unique style and get ready to move!

Contemporary Dance: This versatile class combines elements of jazz, lyrical, and modern dance. Students will explore dynamic concepts like floor work, weight transfer, contract-and-release, and fall and recovery. Beyond the steps, dancers will use movement as a tool for personal expression and storytelling.
