Dancehampton is a children's and youth dance school in East Hampton, New York, now entering its 20th season, with registration opening on 1 August and classes starting Monday 14 September. The youngest students begin with Baby Ballet for toddlers and a Ballet/Tap combo class that uses simple exercises to introduce stretching, rhythm, coordination, concentration and discipline as a foundation for later training. Ballet is taught in a structured way with floor strengthening, barre and center work focused on alignment, strength and flexibility, alongside tap, jazz, lyrical, musical theatre and hip hop. The school also offers tumbling and acro, progressing from handstands, rolls and cartwheels through walkovers and round-offs to handsprings and aerials; Irish step, covering the jig, reel and slip jig in soft shoe before the hard shoe; and a Jumps, Turns and Leaps technique class. There is an annual recital and a scholarship application for prospective students.
