This is a 30 minute class which meets once each week and is designed for
children ages 20 months and up who are not ready to be left alone in class.
Each dancer is accompanied by one adult each week, although it does not
always need to be the same person. They perform together in the show.

Ages 3-4 Class Options
Creative Dance * Monday 5:15-5:45 pm
$44/Month
Shoes: Pink Ballet (Black for Boys)
This 30 minute class meets once per week and is designed for pre-school
children ages 3-4. Each dance-song taught has a specific movement and/or
rhythmic purpose. As the year progresses, the movements learned in the
dance-songs will be combined together and used in a personality song.
They will rehearse entrances and exits along with their song for a concert
performance. As they are learning to "dance," there is an important underlying
emphasis on strengthening and limbering their bodies to build a dancer body.
In this class there is never a "wrong" dance movement. Their own movement is
a necessary and purposeful part of their dance learning.

These songs use Ballet and rhythmic movements necessary in learning Ballet
combinations. As the year progresses, the movements learned at the barre
and on the floor will be combined and choreographed in a dance.
Tap - students practice the fundamental steps in every class in order that they
develop skill in hitting the dance floor sharply for a clear sound and in perfect
time to the music. We adapt the Tap steps into a personality song for
performance.

$66/Month
Shoes: Pink Ballet, Black Tap, Tan Jazz
This class is a 1 ½ hour class which meets once each week. Every class aims to stretch, limber, and strengthen the body, as well as work on technique by using steps, combinations, and turns.
Ballet - class starts at the barre warming up the feet and body. Plie', tendu, degage', develope', attitude, arabesque, balance', grande battement, and many other Ballet movements are combined at the appropriate level and speed being taught. On the floor, steps are taught (using the barre technique) and are combined with varied musical rhythms and speeds corresponding to the class
level. Ballet is a very difficult, precise, and technical art form, but with patience
and dedication every student can benefit.
Jazz - explores the new styles of movement that erupt daily. Styles vary with the teacher and include a warm-up, technique and cool-down. Jazz class students
learn body isolation, across-the-floor movements, center floor movements and turns. The benefits of Jazz dance are similar to Ballet, but the music and style are different. Styles learned are combined into a dance and performed in the concerts.
Tap - uses a graded series. When the barre and floor combinations at each level
are completed, a Tap routine of that level is taught. In children's classes, more
than one routine is learned before advancing to the next level.
