Class Schedule 2022-2023

---

Creative Dance 3 (3 yr. olds) and Creative Dance 4 (4 yr. olds) : These classes are our specialty and are more than just fun. The students move and explore and learn essential skills for ballet, and contemporary classes. These two dance classes build on one another. They are 45 minute classes with an optional tap class offered at the end. We offer a unique approach in our younger classes!

Creative/ballet mix (5-6 yr. old): This class adds and expands on the creative movement class skills. In this class we add a small barre section some days and some days experiencing modern technique on the floor. We add some basic ballet steps and also increase their independence in creating movements in patterns and movements involving a broader range of movement in the upper body. 

*Students will help construct sequences of movement in this class.

Ballet/modern mix (ages 7-9): This is a 1 hour class that has a mixed ballet and modern approach. Some days will be ballet barre others contemporary technique on the floor. This is for students that are older but have little or no experience with dance. You may talk the tap class before this class on the schedule. 

Intermediate level 1 (ages 10-12): This is a 1 1/2 hours a week class that introduces a 45 minutes of ballet and a 45 minutes of modern dance. Dance experience is not required, but welcome. We offer a full barre and floor work in the ballet day and on the modern day there will be a full technique section and continue to develop their choreographic skills. Tap and Jazz are offered before or after class.

Tap: Tap is an exciting, rhythmic dance class requiring tap shoes. This class teaches basic tap steps set to children’s music and musical theater music. This helps teach basic musical skills and rhythm in a fun engaging way. 

Hip hop/Jazz (ages 7+): This class teaches basic jazz, and/or hip hop movement with dances set to pop music. These movements and music will be carefully chosen to be age appropriate.

Intermediate 2 (ages 12+): This class held three days a week. Experience required. One day will be a Modern technique class with improvisation. The next day will be a full ballet barre and technique class. The third day will be a contemporary class. As the studio grows and the dancers become more advanced they, will follow one or the other track, still continuing to have both offerings at least once a week. 

Beginning Teen ballet (ages 12+): a full ballet class one day and a full modern class the other. Why not start training at this age?
