class descriptions


We believe that Ballet is the foundation of dance.  To excel in Jazz and Tap, Ballet is necessary.  Although students are not required to enroll in Ballet class, it is highly recommended.  Twinkle Toes and Bitty Ballerinas begin at age 3.  All other dance classes begin at age 5.  Advance Ballet and Pointe classes are by teacher invitation only.

Twinkle Toes Tap

This is a 45 minute class, combining singing and tap dancing for children ages 3 through 5.  It is designed to continue to develop dancers' gross motor skills.  We use instruments and singing to help teach the children rhythm and musicality.

Hip-hop-erinas

This 60 minute class is broken up into two, half-hour segments.  The first half will focus on building a strong ballet foundation - we will learn proper ballet terminology, while emphasizing both balance and gross motor skills.   During the second half of class, we'll switch up the music and turn on the tunes! The Hop Hop portion of this class will strive to improve rhythm, coordination, and a strong working memory for your young dancer.
