Here's a list of our classes

All classes have the opportunity to participate in our recital

PRE-SCHOOL & KINDERGARTEN

 

MOM & TOT

A great introduction to music and movement, for the 2-3 year olds and their mommies (care givers). In each class we will explore how music, tempo, emotions and the world around us can be expressed through dance. The aim of this class is to introduce the youngest dancer to the structure of a class and to promote a fun and safe environment where music and movement go hand in hand. A parent or care giver must attend with child.

 

I’M A BALLERINA

Your adorable dancer will love this fun-filled class that combines creative movement and classical ballet. This class is offered for independent students. (For young dancers not ready for separation, please join our fabulous

MOM & TOT class with your mommy!)

 

BROADWAY BOUND

Expose your child(ren) to the rhythm of tap, and ballet (the foundation of dance). The use of props such as balls, balloons, scarves and stuffed animals are incorporated to help the young dancer visualize new movements. Singing is such a fun way for kids to learn at this age and the dancers will develop the stage presence of a Broadway star. The aim of this class is to provide a positive and nurturing start to what will become a lifelong love of dance.  This class is appropriate for both boys and girls.

  

KINDER HIPHOP

This class is designed for kindergarten age dancers who love to shake it all over. After a warm-up, incorporating a basic jazz movement vocabulary, the dancers will learn patterning and gain coordination through isolation and large motor movement while having a great time. Age appropriate music and hiphop movement will be used.
