​
- for dancers ages 5 & up. Mr. AJ's acro classes are a party where everyone is invited to come get better at acro! An energizing warmup and wide range of vocabulary including rolls, balances, backbends and contortion work, aerials, handsprings, floor tricks, tucks, layouts and more are covered according to the skill level of the class. Mr. AJ draws heavily on his medical and anatomical training along with his acrobatic experience to ensure that students are practicing these high-level movements with precision and care that supports their health and longevity. Mr.AJ studied with Acrobatic Arts in Modules 1 & 2, and has also taken their Aerial/Back Handspring workshop.
- for dancers ages 8 & up. Mr. AJ's ballet classes are often set to invigorating instrumental music, bringing dancers through an exploratory barre sequence, across the floor, and center for contemporary ballet combinations. These classes are designed to help dancers bring fun, playful, yet thoroughly disciplined energy to their technical work, and integrate that technique with their artistry. Class focal points include posture and presentation, technical execution, movement quality, weight transfer, and vocabulary.
