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.

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!)

 

TAP & TUTU’S

Expose your child(ren) to the rhythm of tap and the graceful movements of ballet. The use of props such as balls, balloons, scarves and stuffed animals are incorporated to help the young dancer visualize new movements. The aim of this class is to provide a positive and nurturing start to what will become a lifelong love of dance.
