Pre-Ballet/Creative Movement classes are designed for young, beginner students.  In these classes, students learn the basics of dance that prepare them for ballet and tap.
 
In Ballet classes, students learn the fundamentals of ballet technique.  They will work to achieve flexibility, balance, strength, and other skills.  As they advance, they have the opportunity to study Pointe dance, in which they work to strengthen the feet and legs in order to achieve proficiency in dancing on pointe.  Students may begin pointe class when they have achieved a fundamental level of ballet technique.
 
Students may begin tap classes at age 5.  They will learn the basics of tap dance, including strong footwork and clean sounds, and advance as they become more experienced.
 
Students may begin taking jazz classes at 1st grade.  We prefer them to reach this level in beginning jazz classes so that they will have a strong background in ballet technique.  Students also have the opportunity to study lyrical and hip hop dance in jazz classes.
 
Students will be placed in classes according to their ages and levels of experience.  Students ages 3 to 4 will take pre-ballet classes, and students ages 5-7 will take ballet and tap class.  Older students will take ballet, tap, and jazz combination classes in the appropriate age/experience level classes.  We will let students know in which class they will participate when they are registered.

Dance attire: Girls should wear tights and a leotard to all dance classes.  These can be any color.  They may also choose to wear dance pants, shorts, and/or a close-fitting top over their leotard if they choose.  Boys should wear a t-shirt and jazz pants or gym shorts or pants and socks.
