Rhythm & Rhymes

Age:  3 year olds

This is the class for our youngest dancers - the 3 year olds. This class consists of basic coordination skills, singing and creative movement all incorporated with music. No technical ballet is taught at this age because the young dancer's body is not yet developed for strict training. (30 minute class)

Elementary Tap & Ballet

Grades: 1st & 2nd

Parents really begin to see the reasons for pre-school classes at this age. Our dancer makes a big transition from pre-school "baby work" to a more advanced level of tap & ballet. The classes are more disciplined & dance structured. The dance education is more challenging. (1 hour class)

Hip Hop

Grades: 3rd & up

A high impact class combining fun & energetic moves mixed with up-tempo music! Consists of freestyle dance with quick choreography.  (45 minutes)

 

Pre-School Tap & Ballet

Grades:  Pre-K & K

Many coordination, rhythm & balance skills are taught which give a great foundation for a technical dance education. We introduce pre-ballet and pre-tap skills in a very fun atmosphere. All of our pre-schoolers enjoy many exercise games, finger plays, and fun songs that help produce a love of dance. (1 hour class)

Combo Tap, Ballet
& Jazz

Grades:  3rd - 8th

These dancers are involved in serious dance instruction in the areas of all ballet, tap and jazz work. The class is held in a strict, disciplined atmosphere which consists of stretching, barre, center floor, across the floor, and much technical work.

Contemporary

Pre-
Jazz

Grades:  K, 1st & 2nd
