Elementary Ballet (1st and 2nd Grade) The goal of Elementary Ballet is to establish a solid
classical foundation with an emphasis on alignment of the spine and correct use
of muscles in the legs and feet. Classes are made up of barre work, center work, exercise to increase
flexibility, and exercises to encourage musicality and self-expression. Students are also taught the correct protocol for the ballet classroom.
Tap focuses on rhythm, syncopation and style. Our classes provide instruction in traditional tap. An emphasis is placed on developing proper sound and clarity.
