CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Little Stars - Ballet & Basics

(Ages 3-4)
This special pre-school program has been designed with the little dancer in mind who has not had any formal dance instruction. It is a fast-paced and fun way to build the necessary skills for a regular dance class. Students will learn counting to music, work on motor-skills, and develop balance and coordination. Students will perform in the winter showcase and spring recital.

Starlets - Ballet & Tap

(Ages 3-5)
Our second pre-school program is for students who want to explore more than one area of dance. Basic skills in ballet are taught along with basic choreography skills in formations, level changes and cannons. Tap dance is introduced to help reinforce counting to music and making musical rhythms with our feet. Now how fun is that! Students will perform in the winter showcase and spring recital.

Shooting Stars - Jazz, Tap & Ballet

This class is designed for students with little or no previous dance experience. We start to build their dance vocabulary of basic steps, which are combined to create a fun dances with multiple formation changes.

Students will perform one dance in the winter showcase and two routines in the spring recital.
