Class Descriptions:
Pre-Ballet (Ages 3 - 4) covers the basic movements found in all dance forms. Pre-Ballet fosters creativity, freedom, expression in movement, and a love of
dance. Children learn about rhythms and quality of movement. The creative component is large. As their ability and self-confidence grows, children are introduced to more
challenging sequences of movement and vocabulary that prepares them for Primary
Ballet.
Primary Ballet (5K) As the school year progresses, more ballet structure and technique is added
to the curriculum in a creative and fun way. At this level, children begin to learn more about how they can control the
muscles in their bodies. They learn to use self-control and concentration while dancing. By the end of the year, students can dance independently of the teacher and
memorize simple exercises or sequences.
Tap focuses on rhythm, syncopation and style. Our classes provide instruction in traditional tap. An emphasis is placed on developing proper sound and clarity.
