 Terrific Two's -Ages 2-3
This class is designed for our youngest dancers who want to express their independence without the assistance of mom or dad. Dancers will have fun learning pre-ballet movement to popular children's music through singing and movement games. Props such as pom pons, hula hoops, parachutes and bean bags are used to enhance the learning experience. Class sizes are kept very small to assure plenty of individual attention for our youngest dancers.
 
Little Fairies (3-4)
 
These classes are open to girls and boys ages 3-4.5 years old. Little dancers love to move and pretend, and we utilize these natural tendancies to gently introduce them to the dance world. Dancers need to work in their own body space and wait their turn, they need to learn to respect the studio, the teacher and understand what each piece of equipment in the dance room is used for. Young dancers absorb this while listening to different kinds of music, and dancing with scarves, tambourines, singing songs. The teachers will introduce basic ballet positions, age appropriate stretching exercises and correct posture in a positive and creative environment.
 
Dancing Princesses (5-6)
 
Calling all princes and princesses—it’s time to enter the world of “once upon a time.…” Our young dancers start the class with story time, featuring tales from Disney Princesses and Classic Ballets, followed by a ballet lesson. They can become fairies or princesses ... animals or insects ... flowers or feelings. Children learn to express themselves through the physical joy of dancing to music. Whether they are dancing with scarves and ribbon twirlers, practicing their princess walk, or skipping with a partner, every class is a joyful introduction to the basics of classical ballet. Each month will have a different theme. 
 
Blossoming Ballerinas  (6-8)
 
 An exciting Ballet class that introduces the fundamentals of ballet technique. Students are encouraged to use their creativity while learning to follow directions in a more structured classroom environment. Along with building strength and developing poise, students become familiar with the music, stories, costumes and unique characters of the great classical ballet and Disney Princesses in this advanced Fairytale Ballet class.

Mini Hip Hopperz & Lil Peeps Hip Hop

Jazz
 
An upbeat class incorporating contemporary and traditional jazz dance styles to current popular music.
 
Lyrical / Contemporary
 
Lyrical / Contemporay combines the beauty of ballet with the strength of jazz & modern, creating a unique style of dance. This technique focuses on strength, technique, fluidity, balance, extension and emotion. Choreography uses movement and expression to convey the meaning of the lyrics of the music. For those dancers who have no desire to enroll in classical ballet, contemporary is seen as a great alternative.
 
Musical Theater Dance
 
A fun and expressive class covering a wide variety of styles used in Broadway theater choreography. A great class for students preparing for musical theater auditions, or those who just love to put on a show! Ages 6 and up, prior jazz or ballet experience is a plus.
