PRESCHOOLDANCE
THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO INTRODUCE DANCE TO YOUR PRESCHOOLER.  THEY LEARN BASIC BALLET SKILLS THROUGH FUN MOVEMENT GAMES AS WELL AS TRADITIONAL INSTRUCTION.  WE ADORE THE LITTLE ONES! We ALWAYS STRIVE TO MAKE THEM FEEL SAFE AND HAPPY
KINDERDANCE
NOW THAT YOUR CHILD IS A BIT OLDER AND WISER SHE/HE IS READY FOR THE CHALLENGE OF KINDERDANCE.  WE DO A COMBINATION OF BALLET, CREATIVE MOVEMENT AND BASIC TAP SKILLS.  WE USE MANY OF THE SAME METHODS AS PRESCHOOL SUCH AS BEAN BAGS, STREAMERS, PARACHUTE AND MANY OTHER FUN AND EDUCATIONAL PROPS.
BALLET
THIS CLASS IS A GREAT WAY TO DISCOVER A CHILDS GRACE ,  POISE, FLEXABILTY,  BALANCE AND CONFIDENCE... 
IF THEY DO NOT YET HAVE THESE ABILITIES... THEY WILL BE IMPROVED UPON AS A RESULT. WE START WITH A BARRE WARM UP THEN WE MOVE ACROSS THE FLOOR
AND LASTLY WE DANCE IN THE CENTER LEARNING VARIOUS BALLET MOVES. THE MUSIC IS SOMETIMES CLASSICAL AND SOMETIMES LYRICAL. 
TAP
TAP IS RYTHMICAL AND FUN.  WE WILL LEARN BASIC TAP STEPS AND PIECE THEM TOGETHER TO FORM ROUTINES.  THE DANCERS PRACTICE THINGS ACROSS THE FLOOR JUST LIKE IN BALLET.  WE USE A VARIETY OF MUSIC FROM SHOW TUNES TO TOP 40.  IT IS A GREAT WAY TO GET EXERCISE, LEARN BETTER BALANCE AND IT GETS THE MIND THINKING TOO!
JAZZ
JAZZ IS USUALLY A FAVORITE WITH THE KIDS.  EVERYONE ASKS ME FOR HIP HOP.  WE OFFER THE REGULAR JAZZ CLASS BUT OF COURSE WE HAVE HIP HOP INCORPORATED INTO THE CLASS.  IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE KIDS TO LEARN THE BASIC OF JAZZ WHICH IS THE FOUNDATION.  WE EXPLORE THEATRICAL JAZZ, LYRICAL JAZZ, CLASSICAL JAZZ AND YES HIP HOP.  ITS FUN!  WE USE ALL TYPES OF MUSIC FROM FUNKY TO SHOW TUNES OR WHATEVER IS NEW.....BUT OF COURSE CLEAN!
POINTE
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL DANCE FORM FOR THE MORE SERIOUS BALLET STUDENT.  BARRE WORK IS THE CORE OF THIS CLASS WITH ACROSS THE FLOOR WORK WHEN DANCERS ARE READY.  YOU  MUST HAVE TEACHER PERMISSION TO JOIN THIS CLASS.
