LEVEL II begins the progression of the basic elements learned in Level I. The groundwork taught in the previous level is accompanied by more difficult movement and added details in all styles. The range of basic steps is continued, with more emphasis on linking steps together and transitions. There is added emphasis on the coordination of all of the parts of the body. This coordination enables preparation for, and eventually, pirouettes themselves to be introduced, as well as allegro and adagio. Leg height is raised to ninety degrees, with proper alignment and rotation. This level will begin to stress the importance of strength, turnout and flexibility and the ability to hold onto these concepts when moving at a quicker tempo. Toning exercises will be executed daily as well as foot and ankle strengthening exercises. This level introduces artistic expression while dancing, both on stage & in rehearsal.
Ballet
Ballet Levels I through V will include concepts, skills, vocabulary and artistry specific to ballet. By the end of the season in each respective level, students should have developed alignment, strength, flexibility and coordination through barre and center work. Progression of the class from plies through grande allegro will be learned. Students will acquire a ballet terminology and vocabulary based on their particular level. Dancers will develop their skills appropriate for their level through classical combinations, with an emphasis on correct placement, musicality and artistry, culminating at the highest level with pointe work, variations and pas de deux. The dancers will have groundwork for any further training in other styles, as well as have an appreciation for ballet as an art form.
Jazz
Jazz Levels I through V will include concepts, skills, vocabulary and artistry specific to jazz dance, but also drawn from ballet training. Students will apply principles from their other classes, as well as learn a variety of jazz techniques and styles. Concepts of isolation and working in parallel are studied. Progressions across the floor are introduced and become more intricate as levels climb. Eventually, execution of advanced jazz patterns is learned, both in the body and traveling through space. Coordination, musicality and a high level of performance are emphasized. The dancers will gain historical knowledge of the development of jazz dance, giving them an appreciation for jazz as an art form, as well as an aid in increasing performance skills.
Contemporary | Modern
Contemporary Levels I through V will include concepts, skills, vocabulary and artistry from jazz and ballet, as well as specific contemporary ideas and choreography. Students will apply principles from their other classes into more artistic work and be able to draw similarities and differences in their other studies as dancers. Floor work will be introduced, as well as ideas of curving the spine, weight sharing, contemporary partnering and initiating movement from different parts of the body. An increased emphasis on artistry will be stressed. Improvisational techniques are introduced and dancers are given the opportunity to show diversity of movement and dynamics based on music initiations and choreographic intent. The dancers will have an understanding and appreciation for the ever-changing art form of dance through contemporary styles in today's dance world.

Tame Dance Academy is an amazing performing arts studio that has inspired my daughter to find her voice through dance. We started in January 2022 after leaving another dance studio due to the COVID Pandemic and a lack of instructional guidance. The TAME performing arts academy has helped my daughter improve her technique. They do an outstanding job in providing a variety of dance classes and opportunities to join their competitive dance company. What I believe sets TAME Dance Academy apart from the rest is the dedication and personable approach Luke and Teddy (owners and class Instructors) have with each student and their families. The Summer Intensive Classes for 2022 have challenged my daughter to set high goals, improve performance, and take awesome classes with guest arts. Since joining, I have seen her grow as a responsible student maintaining a high GPA while attending her dance classes. She has shown incredible improvements but what I appreciate most is how she looks forward to going to TAME and being a part of this group individuals who love the art movement, and self expression.

If you are looking for a loving dance environment where your child will have room to grow and gain a whole family/ support system...then TAME is the place to be!
My daughter has been part of the TAME family since Nov 2016. Not only has she excelled as a dancer in her technique & movement quality; her growth in her confidence and personality is a welcomed reward as well. Luke, Teddy and the entire team at TAME are amazing people who make you feel welcomed the minute you set foot in the studio.
In Summer of '23, she officially be a TAME Alumni, but we will always be a part of the TAME family. <3

My daughter has been so happy since they welcomed her to TAME about a year ago. It is the environment she needed to grow. They turned her can'ts into cans and fueled her passion. She is more committed and confident since being here and I cannot thank them enough. They understand body mechanics as they are all college level graduates from major universities in dance. The technique is everything for them while understanding the importance of encouraging difficult tasks without added pressure. I cant wait to see what the future holds.
