Classes

Ballet

90-Minute class once a week for beginner ballet students. No experience necessary. 90-Minute class twice a week for intermediate and advanced ballet students. All ballet classes include extensive stretching, barre exercises, center combinations, and routines. Our twice-a-week ballet classes are leveled 1, 2, 3, 4. Anyone who would like to participate in twice-a-week ballet is allowed to do so, but we take into consideration their skill level, not just age, when placing them in classes. All of our ballet students perform excerpts from The Nutcracker at our Christmas show. Level 2 and up who take part in the summer ballet classes also perform a lyrical routine in the Christmas show. Levels 2, 3, & 4 Ballet classes all perform a ballet routine and a lyrical routine in the Spring Recital. Pointe shoes are introduced when dancers reach Level 3 Ballet, and when they meet the age and skills requirements needed to dance in pointe shoes.

Tumbling and Baton

Our tumbling and baton classes are 60-minute classes that include stretching, warm-up, skill and terminology practice, combinations, and routines. Some of these classes may be selected to perform a routine in the Christmas show and one in the Spring Recital, but some classes only perform in the Spring Recital. We take age and skill- level into consideration when placing students into these classes.

Jazz & Tap

Our Jazz & Tap classes are 60-minute classes that include stretching, warm-up, skill and terminology practice, combinations, and routines. Some of these classes may be selected to perform a routine in the Christmas show and one in the Spring Recital, but some classes only perform in the Spring Recital. We take age and skill- level into consideration when placing students into these classes.
