Fort Myers, FL, June 17, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The Heights Center announces new visual and performing arts classes for children and adults.

We are pleased to provide access to the arts at an affordable price.”
Classes for Children:
Acrobatics: Beginner to immediate students will learn to incorporate gymnastic skills and dance in a safe, fun and high energy environment. Students will learn the proper technique to do cartwheels, backbends, splits, handstands and some back walkovers and/or handsprings. Students will learn a routine to perform that includes dance.
Ballet: Beginner ballet classes offer the technique that is needed for all forms of dance. Students will advance as they are able in the introduction to ballet. Students will be introduced to the proper techniques of ballet to include the five basic ballet positions. Students will learn a complete dance which will incorporate their newly-learned stills.
Hip Hop: Learn this popular style of dance that uses skills, dancing to beats and freestyle dancing. The techniques include ordinal styles such as wide range breaking, locking and popping combined Jazz Funk. Jazz Funk combines technical dance with the freestyle of hip hop.
Keyboard: Keyboard classes provide the skill to play the piano. Students will enjoy learning how to play, read and create music. Reading music is a technique the students will learn to enhance their ability to play many different songs. The keyboard is just like a piano when it comes to keys and sounds. Students who learn with the keyboard will be able to play a piano. Students will enjoy a fun and exciting environment.
Classes for Children and Adults:
