Grade II and above dancers are required to take class twice per week, and more classes are encouraged for faster advancement.

Class Descriptions

Ballet is a fundamental international dance technique providing a solid foundation for all dancers and complementing all other styles of dance. Based on the Royal Academy of Dancing syllabus, this method helps maintain high standards, sets goals, and provides logical progressions.

Pre-Ballet/Creative Movement is a forerunner to ballet. It includes creative dance techniques and activities to enhance coordination, balance, and motor skills.

Modern Dance/Jazz emphasizes the strength and flexibility of the spine and freedom of movement while maintaining control and precision. Dancers discover personal range of movement and explore composition and choreography through improvision and creative exercises. Jazz, similar to modern dance, uses technique set to contemporary music.

Tap emphasizes footwork and the expression of rhythm through sound. Students train for control and agility of the feet while using the upper body to help express style.

Parent & Tot is for ages 2-4 and a caregiver. Activities promote movement, strength, flexibility, musicality, balance, confidence, creativity, and fun! Please note that this class is offered only periodically. Call the studio for more information (551-4200).
