Dance Curriculum

Tiny Dance: allows 3 year-olds to explore the magical world of dance through creative movement, songs, seasonal activities, and the use of props.  The 45 minute classes enhance listening and socialization skills, sequencing , the ability to follow instructions, spatial awareness, basic motor skills and musicality.

Kinderdancing: is designed to help 4 & 5 year-olds transition from the 45 minute Tiny Dance class format to a 1 hour pre-ballet and tap combination class.  The introduction of dance terminology is used to further enhance the students learning experience and dance foundation.

Ballet: classes are progressive and teach technique, body alignment, terminology and musicality which can be used universally with all genres of dance.

Tap: classes explore different rhythmic patterns, combinations, clarity of sounds and tap styles.  Warm-ups, barre work, across the floor combinations & standard steps are included.

Jazz: is an upbeat class incorporating contemporary and traditional jazz dance styles to current popular music.  Classes include isolations, stretches, footwork, and are designed to increase body control and coordination.

Pointe: is an extension of ballet. It requires solid, consistent, and current ballet training coupled with strength in the legs and the core of the dancer's body.  This class is subject to per-requisites and approval by the instructor for enrollment.

Lyrical: is a blending of jazz, ballet and contemporary dance with the use of emotion to express the lyrics of the music used.
