When ready to take class independently, 3 to 4 year-old dancers continue to practice their ballet and tap basics and begin learning simple choreography as they prepare for their first performances with Piedmont School of Music & Dance in the annual student recital.

2 and 3 year old students dance in a once-a-week, parent-assisted preschooler dance class that uses props, games, and music to teach coordination, counting, dance and pre-acrobatic skills while focusing on important classroom behaviors like listening to the teacher, following directions, and taking turns!

Preschoolers love dancing with Piedmont School of Music & Dance! Pre Dance classes combine ballet and tap technique in fun, age-appropriate classes that introduce our youngest dancers to dance basics and let them express their natural love of movement.

Intermediate and Int/Advanced dancers at Levels 5 and 6 become more focused on their ballet training. These students still have the option to add additional technique, jazz, and contemporary classes, as well as developing the strength for advanced ballet technique in pre-pointe or pointe classes. Level 4 and 5 dancers may also be invited to dance with Piedmont's Performing Company and receive additional leadership experience by assisting with pre-dance or fundamentals classes.

At Levels 3 and 4, students devote additional time to each style, having the opportunity to enroll in up to 4 different classes in a program devoted to training in ballet, jazz, and more. Students at this level also become eligible to participate in Piedmont Dance Theatre's The Nutcracker and Piedmont's Performing Company.

Level 2 students add additional skills and training to the foundation established in their fundamentals class. Classes meet twice a week and are a combination of advanced beginner ballet, tap, and jazz.

After mastering the fundamentals of dance, children continue to develop their skills and have additional training opportunities as they progress through higher level classes. New students with previous dance experience may also be accepted to more advanced level classes after being evaluated by an instructor.

The remaining class time is divided between tap and jazz dance. In tap classes, students develop rhythm and precision as they learn to move their feet to the beat. Jazz dance training helps students build expression and artistry in their movements.

Ballet is the foundation of dance training. Students develop strength, coordination, flexibility, and balance by practicing ballet. All dance styles will refer to ballet technique and terminology. Fundamentals classes devote 50% of their instructional time to ballet training.

In the Piedmont School of Music & Dance's Fundamentals program, new dancers ages 5 to 15 learn the dance technique, terminology, and skills that provide a strong foundation for future learning. These children's dance classes are a combination of ballet, tap, and jazz.
