“Tiny Tots” - Creative Movement Classes (Ages 1.5 - 2)
This 30 minute class for 2 year olds introduces pre-ballet technique.
It is an imaginative and exciting introduction into the world of dance for our youngest dancers!
Children learn basic steps and positions of Ballet and develop their gross motor skills.
We will explore many ways to move through song & dance, basic dance technique, use of props and basic tumbling.

This high energy, fun filled class is teaching the joy of dance to our youngest dancers.
We incorporate important basics of ballet with some elements of gymnastics.

We start with warm up, then move to the basic steps and positions of ballet, then spend part of the class for gymnastics, and end with the freeze dance or zoo song or some other fun activities!
We strive to enhance confidence and social interaction. The students also learn how to listen to and understand musical beats and increase musical awareness.
Students explore many different ways to move to the music through use of imagination and storytelling. This program helps children develop their self confidence through a positive and encouraging guidance.
Ballet I & II (Ages 4 - teens)
Being the foundation of all other dance styles, ballet is highly recommended for all students.
We work with our students to improve their posture, coordination, learning ability, self discipline, dance etiquette, and self confidence.
We teach these skills through barre work, center work, and across the floor progressions.
Ballet technique is also great in enhancing students athletic abilities in various sports.
Preceding formal ballet training, Ballet I is specifically designed for young children.
Through the medium of fun and games, the students are introduced to the ballet barre and discover the foundations of proper ballet technique without realizing it.
Ballet II is a continuation of Ballet I, with emphasis on proper ballet technique.
