Mosaic Dance Center is a certified studio with two certified coaches on staff from Acrobatic Arts, whom runs training and certification courses for dance teachers in the art of AcroDance in the United States, Australia, and Great Britain. This program is based on safe and effective progressions with proven results in five divisions of AcroDance: Flexibility, Strength, Balancing, Limbering and Tumbling. Developed with input from professionals and experts in ballet, modern dance, jazz, contortion, artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, sport acrobatics, yoga, Acro yoga, Pilates, physiotherapy, hand balancing and more, you will not find a more comprehensive program.

Mosaic Dance Center is the only certified studio in the area for pre-school acrobatic dance, aerial hoops, hand balancing, contortion, as well as all modules to pre-professional level. ACE training also includes gymnast and ice skaters as well. As educators, we encourage cross training in any discipline.

Pre-pointe helps students to strengthen their abdomen, which is a very important muscle that all dancers use to balance. Pre-pointe teachers will tend to focus a lot on abdomen exercises and stretching to help with flexibility. Pre-pointe class last 30-minute class and is for dancer’s ages 12 and up. Before the student is placed in pointe shoes the teacher will do an evaluation looking for pointe readiness, some of the things they are looking for are. Core strength: Dancers are asked to plié and grand plié in the center. Teachers watch for strength through the abdominals, ankles, and feet, and make sure ribs are over the hips. Rotation: Teachers will watch to see if dancers can sustain turnout from the hips without compensating. Alignment: Teachers may check the ability of dancers to maintain proper placement by leading relevé exercises in first position. Balance: Dancers might be asked to sous-sous and degagé the back leg side, so it closes in front. Teachers evaluate strength and placement through the core and legs.

This class emphasizes posture, alignment, proper execution, fundamentals, port de bras, strength, and classroom etiquette. Includes attention to foot articulation and usage, along with stretching. While the syllabus is the same for beginning male and female students, the contrast between male and female is different as the student progresses.

Students should have sound technical fundamentals and be ready for increasingly complex work. Weekly variations in classes are added. Teachers guide students to develop their artistry. Girls will have developed the strength needed to execute increasingly challenging pointe work. Boys will focus on developing strength to execute tours, pirouettes and jumps in the male classical repertoire. Students will have increased performance opportunities, including the opportunity to join the company.

Students have now learned the foundation of barre exercises and will begin slowly increasing the complexity with a focus on proper technical execution. Sound technical fundamentals continue to be a priority. Girls will begin introductory pointe work at the discretion of the faculty. Basic pointe work includes learning how to prepare the shoes for dancing and developing strength in the feet, ankles, legs, core and upper body with exercises on two feet facing the barre. Pointe classes are introduced at 30 minutes and increase in length and frequency in subsequent years as students gain strength for more complex movements.

Students should have a good understanding of the proper execution of turn out, placement and port de bras (carriage of the arms). Teachers will continue to increase the complexity of exercises and introduce new material while focusing on correct technique and coordination. Dancers will increase the length and frequency of classes with a focus on building strength and learning fundamental and age-appropriate steps from the classical repertoire. Preparations for turns on pointe are introduced.

Ballet II students will begin to learn the traditional barre exercises in a technically sound and age-appropriate manner. Barre exercises transfer to the center floor work where students begin to connect what they learn at the barre with the movements they will be executing in the center. Teachers guide students to develop a greater awareness of technique, musicality, and dancing with others to create a performance. Conditioning exercises are included in classwork to increase strength and flexibility.

Ballet I.5 introduces an expanded age-appropriate repertoire of ballet fundamentals. Students will begin to learn correct execution of turnout and placement in basic positions; continue to develop their coordination; and focus on age-appropriate spatial and body awareness. Students will work cooperatively with the teacher and their classmates to present show material, continue to learn ballet class etiquette, and begin working on strength and flexibility with simple conditioning exercises. Ballet 1.5 prepares students for the introduction of barre work in Ballet II.

An introduction to ballet technique. Students will begin to learn simple movement at the barre’, learn proper preparations and finishes for exercises, as well as being introduced to a format they will use for the rest of their training.
