Movement & Dance Studio

Ages 5 & 6. Pre-ballet and the creative joy of movement! This class is devoted to developing and enhancing the coordination, musicality and creativity in the young child. Movement qualities and the fundamentals of ballet are introduced through guided movement and imagination. The exploration of each child’s free-spirit is encouraged through their own dancemaking.

Tweens & Teens & JIA/JRA. This medically endorsed movement class is specifically designed with your child in mind. We will focus on a combination of comforting stretch and tai chi movements, always ending our class with another accomplishment!

An ancient Chinese healing system. With this gentle sun style tai chi form, you can learn to manifest your internal power to bring peace of mind and energy to the body with a healing sense of balance and spiritual well-being. The body, mind and spirit can become a storehouse of unreleased tensions if not cared for and exercised properly.

Children naturally love hand clapping & foot stamping rhythms! In this introductory class, we will learn proper body alignment, classic arm, hand & foot positions while practicing basic Palmas (hand clapping rhythms) & Zapateados (foot work & rhythms) as an essential form of percussion, along with an introduction to using Palillos (castanets).

Ages 6 to 7. We begin the basic study of classical ballet in this introductory class. Children are taught the fundamental positions of classical ballet footwork and carriage of the arms. Classical technique is developed through the exercises, combinations and vocabulary practiced at the barre, in centre and en diagonale.

Ages 8 to 10. Traditional, Vaganova style, classical ballet training. “Parent Observation Day” is scheduled at the last class.

Start your afternoon with a revitalizing class to carry you throughout the rest of your day!
