30 minute weekly class
This class introduces your child to the skills needed in dance class. Students will learn how to follow instructions and use equipment (hoops, bean bags, balance beam), and begin the basics of ballet movement (stretching, jumping, motor skills, and more). Our staff keeps this class fun with high energy and creative ideas.

This class continues to build body awareness and creative movement ideas. Students are introduced to fundamental ballet positions, posture, and steps. We also focus on directional movement and floor patterns in this class.

This class is divided into 2 sections: Ballet for 30 minutes and Tap for 30 minutes. Teachers guide students to develop basic rhythm and controlled foot and ankle movements necessary in tap dance. Students also continue proper ballet placement and vocabulary.
