Classes Offered:
Pre-Ballet is for the 3-5 year old dancer. These classes are geared toward creative movement, beginning ballet terminology, and basic stage direction.
Ballet classes are for the dancer aged 6 years and older. No experience is necessary. In this class the dancer has a more structured class starting with ballet barre exercises, centre floor work, and simple combinations.
Tap isn’t only making noise with your feet. It can be tricky getting the correct foot articulation and proper shading of sound. Tap classes are offered for dancers 6 years and older. Students are taught basic rhythm and musicality, and syncopation of rhythms, shading and dynamics as they advance.
Jazz dancing evolved with music brought to America from different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Students must be at least 9 years of age. Dancers are taught isolations, centre barre exercises, across the floor skill development and basic combinations. Ballet training helps, but is not necessary.
Classical Ballet is for the experienced ballet dancer. To join this class you must be at least 10 years old and have a minimum of three years ballet training. This is a one hour class.
