Class Descriptions
BALLET (for Kindergarten/ages 5 and up) Classical ballet technique gives students control, strength, grace and beauty. Each class focuses on the basic foot and arm positions and encourages proper body alignment, coordination and flexibility. Basic fundamentals are taught, as well as performing qualities. Ballet gives a dancer the basis to perform any dance style well. (Ballet Kinder is for those students in kindergarten)
PRE-DANCE (for ages 3 & 4) & PRE-BALLET (for ages 4 & 5)
Your child is welcomed into a warm environment for a fun and energetic adventure into the world of dance. Both classes teach students some dance basics and are designed to help children develop confidence, agility, coordination, self-expression and a love for dance through creative movement.
MODERN (for levels 3 & up)
Modern is an eclectic and unique style of dance based upon the styles of many past and present dancers from Martha Graham to Lester Horton to Alvin Ailey. Each class begins with basic technique warm-up that will stretch and strengthen muscles and develop proper body alignment. Students then participate in longer dance combinations across the floor to all different types of music.
