Class Descriptions
| Baby Ballet (Age 2 1/2 to 3) |
Baby Ballet is the perfect transition class for your growing toddler. We bridge the gap from Toddler Time to Creative Movement.Dancers will learn ballet movements, tap basics, and still use props like scarves, balls, and the parachute to develop body awareness. |
| Creative Movement (Age 3 & 4) |
Creative Movement introduces dance and movement using many types of music and props. Students will learn dance vocabulary and age appropriate motor skills in a structured and fun way. We learn both ballet and tap basics which develop body awareness. |

This dance class is perfect for those tiny tots that aren’t quite ready to separate from their caregiver. We use lots of props and fun games to facilitate movement. |

Pre-Ballet (Age 5 & 6) |

Ballet (Age 7 & up) |
Ballet is truly the foundation of all dance. Ballet technique is a structured syllabus which builds upon itself and teaches coordination, grace, strength, and artistry. We teach classical ballet of the Vaganova and Cecchetti tradition. We place our emphasis on sound anatomical training so you can dance for years to come. We encourage proper alignment and kinesiology to prevent injury. |

Pointe (Age12 & up) |
Pointe shoes are a pinnacle of accomplishment for any young dancer. Pointe dancers must be twelve and have
proper technique and muscular development. Students will be examined to determine if they are ready for this
important step in their dance training. It is highly recommended that the dancer’s doctor x-ray their feet to
ensure their growth plates are fully formed. Once students are ready to train on pointe, they will receive an
instructional packet on proper fitting, sewing, and care of their new investment.
