Class Descriptions
Pre-School 1 and 2
This class, recommended for ages 3-6, will teach your child discipline, self-control, and how to work as a team. Students will learn to listen to the teachers and raise their hands to speak. They will build friendships with other children in a positive environment. Students will have opportunities to sing a long with some of the music, releasing a more relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Each class begins with 20 minutes of tap, followed by 15 minutes of ballet and ends with jazz and a fun cool-down. Tap will exercise coordinating the hands and feet movement together and learning the basic tap steps. Ballet will teach all five positions and the basic ballet warm ups. Also in ballet, making it fun and interesting, we will incorporate the students’ imaginations while performing steps down the floor. Lastly, jazz will allow them to use their gross motor skills, like skipping, jumping and stretching. (Also, a fun activity is offered for the last five minutes—if the class behaves.)
Pre-School Hip Hop
This class, recommended for ages 3-6, will teach your child discipline, self-control, and how to work as a team. Students will learn to listen to the teachers and raise their hands to speak. They will build friendships with other children in a positive environment. The class will start with 15 min of teaching how to isolate different parts of the body with up beat children's music.They will learn how to use sharp movement to hit different positions, the difference between high and low dancing, bouncing to the rhythm of the music and putting combinations together. It is a fun class for students to break out of their shell and dance to the fun up beat music.
Jazzette
This class, recommended for ages 7-9, is the next level your child will attend after the pre-school level. (It is also a beginner class for the suggested ages, although there are exceptions for more skilled younger students or less skilled older students.) Jazzette will teach the basic beginner level of ballet, tap and jazz. Students will learn how to put ballet movement together at the bar and center floor work. The Tap portion will put the basic steps together into combinations, cultivating the student’s mind to think quickly while performing combinations. The Jazz will continue to develop stretching techniques and fun combinations to the latest music. The fun atmosphere will help students feel more comfortable expressing their “inner” selves.
Intermediate 1 Ballet/Lyrical
This more complex class, recommended for ages 8-10, is built of the basic ballet steps taught in the Jazzette level. It will also offer lyrical after the ballet barre and center work, enabling students to tap into a more contemporary type of dance. New choreography will be taught often, which will inspire students to add their own “style” to the piece and learn to quickly pick up on new choreography. (This class is not typically for beginner students.)
Intermediate 1 Tap/Jazz
This class is recommended for ages 8-10. The basic tap techniques should be known when taking this class. It is important that the student can make all the basic [tap] “sounds” before speeding the steps up. There will be 20 minutes of a set warm up and then a practice of those steps down the floor. This class will help the student concentrate on the choreography of tap. Jazz will be about 20 minutes of stretching followed by jumps and turns down the floor. The choreography taught will show the student how to put the jumps and turns together while creating a stylized dance.
Intermediate 2 Ballet/Lyrical
This class is suggested for ages 9-11. The ballet barre work will become more advanced and the student will need to have a couple years of training before entering this level. The movement of the feet will be quicker and the technique will need to be shown through every step. Lyrical will be the last part of the class. Combinations will be taught and then expected to be preformed down the floor. They will be taught how to further their expression and feel the music through the motions of their bodies.
Intermediate 2 Tap/Jazz

In this class, we will challenge the children to focus on making all of the sounds while performing a “tricky” routine. The children will then practice steps down the floor. As for Jazz, they will warm up for 20 minutes and then practice basic jumps down the floor. (More perfected jumps will be expected at this level).
