Services
Classes
Report
THE CAROLINA STRUT offers classes in Tap, Ballet, Lyrical, Pointe, Pre-Pointe, Jazz, HipHop, Contemporary, Acro/ Cheer dance, Musical theatre, Conditioning, and Get the Wiggles Out!
Our only requirements that students wishing to take Jazz and Lyrical must take Ballet and pointe students must take two Ballet classes.
We begin taking students as young as 18 months.
These dancers are our Get the Wiggles Out students, a class developed by our previous owner Ms. Melanie Marcott.
Get the Wiggles Out is designed to not only teach the very basic dance steps, but also body awareness, how to stay on your spot and follow the leader.
Competition
Report
TCS offers many programs in addition to our regular classes.
These extra opppurtunities are designed to allow our dancers more performance opportunities.
They are set up in a way not to force dancers into them, but to be there if they are interested.
Performance classes take place outside of regular classes so that dancers who can't, or don't want to participate, are still taking place in proper training.
There are various levels of commitment within our Performance Teams.
We have a non-competitive Performance Team, a group Production Routine, The Strut Competition Team, and the Mini Strut Competition Team.
Competition Team
Report
TCS offers different levels of competitive dance.
We offer a Mini STRUT competition team for dancers ages 5-6 who are ready to compete and are currently in at least a 1.5 hour long class.
They perform one competition dance at the first and last competition and then the parents will vote to decide if they attend the second competition, majority will rule and the whole group will either compete or not.
TCS also offers a competitive production number.
This is a great way to begin competing with the comfort of a large group on stage with you.
Performance Team
Report
This is a very important group at The Carolina Strut!
These dancers represent the studio all over Carteret, Craven and other counties.
The Shooting Stars Performance Team performs at local events such as the NC Seafood Festival, National Night Out, Newport Pig Cooking Contest, Havelock Chili Festival and many other events.
This group also performs on televised events such as the Cystic Fibrosis Telethon.
The Shooting Stars Performance Team is coached by Ms. Jodi Justice who is also head of our early education department.
Solos, Duos, And Trios
Report
Solos/Duos/Trios - These dances are an honor and a privilege and should not be taken lightly.
We will be evaluating every dancer currently doing one of these dances as well as new dancers that want to start them to be sure it is a good fit for them.
The dancer must be putting forth a good effort in all of their regular classes, be an asset to the group dances they are in and have a positive attitude regarding their classes, their dances and representing the studio on and off stage at competition.
