Children’s Program
Dance Intensive
New! We are now offering a program designed for students with the interest in a well-rounded dance education. Students study dance technique in ballet, jazz and tap. Depending on each students individual interests and goals, Modern/Contemporary, Lyrical, and Hip Hop are suggested to supplement their training. As students develop strong ballet technique they progress to more advanced curriculum in this program.
Fundamentals I 1st - 2nd Grade
This class begins the formal study of ballet. Proper ballet terminology and technique is taught for 60 minutes. Following ballet, 30 minutes of jazz and 30 minutes of tap will be taught, increasing student’s mobility and rhythm. There will also be creative movement activities for fun. Students will have one costume and will perform one dance for the Spring Performance.
Fundamentals II 2nd - 3rd Grade
This class is a continuation of Fundamentals I. This class is for students who have completed Fundamentals I or have had 1 - 2 years of ballet training. Students review what was learned in Fundamentals I, while learning new terminology and building upon their technique. Students will meet twice a week, for a total of 3 hours, studying ballet, tap, and jazz. There will also be creative movement activities for fun. Students who want to supplement their studies are also welcome to take hip hop at this age. Students will have two costumes and will perform two dances for the Spring Performance.
