CLASSES

At age 3, our youngest dancers will learn the fundamentals of dance such as rhythm, coordination, grace and expression as they foster a love for dancing. Dancers will explore freedom of movement thru creativity while learning proper dance technique and terminology. The skills developed in this playful environment will lay a foundation for future technique classes. At 4 years old, dancers will add tap to their curriculum and continue to enhance their rhythm and counting skills that they are simultaneously building upon in their school classes. At 5 years old, hippety-hop jazz and acrobatics is added to their class to provide an upbeat, exciting twist to the skill sets they have already been developing.

Ballet (ages 3 & up)

Dancers are taught correct body placement and alignment along with terminology that will be utilized in all other disciplines in the dance world.

Tap (ages 4 & up)

Tap dance is an exhilarating art form that builds concentration, coordination, rhythm, speed, and dexterity. Tap dancers use their feet like drums to create rhythmic patterns and timely beats. Dancers love to put on their tap shoes as they are invited to “make some noise” in this class.Jazz (ages 7 & up)

Jazz dance is a strong, dynamic technique that promotes body strength, flexibility and coordination. It is best when paired with ballet class so that dancers receive proper body technique and placement.
