This program is specially designed to provide children with a strong foundation in dance and movement. It teaches the young dancer the basic elements of movement and dance; space and how we relate to it, both as an individual and as a member of a group. We teach basic locomotor movements, beat and time, ballet positions, tap, jazz and tumbling. Physical and Intellectual concepts are taught in this class, along with creative expression and using their own imagination. These concepts help the young dancer to gain the self confidence to work in a more structured classroom environment. Through participation in these combo classes students also learn correct ballet positions and how to pronounce and identify each step, the basics of classroom manners and behavior, which remain the same throughout their dancing years. These concepts include learning how to take turns, follow another dancer or lead the way, while having a positive attitude. As a former Elementary Education teacher, Julie Brooks/Owner, knows that training young children in the concepts of movement, sequencing and patterning, lays a strong foundation for the later development of reading, mathematics, and other educational skills. At the age of 4 most of our students are placed in a Beginner Combo Class which replaces creative movement skills with more Ballet and Jazz technique. Our combo classes include: ballet, tap, jazz, tumbling, gymnastics and baton twirling. This program is geared toward the early childhood and beginner student taught in a nurturing environment making dance a fun experience. It provides the younger dancer and beginner with a strong foundation in dance.

For the more serious dancer we have 4 levels of competitive dance teams. This class is by audition only. Each team is selected according to skill level and age. We participate in 5 to 6 regional dance competitions and Nationals. Requirements for audition are according to age with a minimum of 2 years Jazz or Ballet.
