About the Style

At NJADS we often run workshops such as Alixa Flexibility, Progressing Ballet Technique and Jumps and Turns to help dancers improve their technique, their strength and physical conditioning to prevent injury and encourage healthy development of their muscles. Workshops for new styles of dance have included Belly Dance, Modern, and more!

TAP DANCE INTENSIVE - July 27 & 28, 2023 We look forward to guest instructors Mike Glenney, Amelia Licatalosi and Vincent Coccurello! MIKE GLENNEY was the World Tap Dance Champion in the “Battle of the Feet” in both 2016 and 2018 before judging the event in 2019. Along with his title wins, he won a total of 12 medals in his appearances at the World Tap Dance Championships in Germany before returning to teach master classes and judge at the event. Mike is proud to have trained and choreographed for the “Canadian National Tap Team” (IDO and World Performers), the “German National Dance Teams” (Tap, Jazz), and the “Italian National Tap Team”.
VINCENT COCCURELLO has trained in many styles including Latin ballroom, tap, hip hop, jazz and more, competing throughout Canada and the USA. Vincent's energy and passion are explosive and contagious. He has gone on to choreograph and teach various styles of dance, and has been a part of cast and crew of Dancing with the Easter Seals Stars Hamilton.
Alixa Flexibility With the Alixa Flexibility course you will learn how to safely become more flexible. The Alixa Flexibility program was created by a former rhythmic gymnastics’ trainer/contortion trainer for circus and former performer and circus artist. Alixa developed her techniques for teaching flexibility after seeing so many athletes have to quit from injuries due to improper stretching or lack of stretching. The Alixa Flexibility Method works with all levels of abilities & ages, building a solid flexibility foundation with the focus on injury prevention and safety. A great add on to your dance class regime!
Jumps and Turns This class focuses on developing the strength, power, flexibility, and technique necessary for more advanced jumps and turns. Working progressively, dancers will learn to perfect a variety of elements used in jumps and turns technique such as; proper posture, core strength, balance, and spotting techniques. A great add on to your dance class regime!
