Creative Movement, ages 3-5:
Our focus for our littlest dancers begins with coordination and awareness of their bodies. The class involves stretches, simple ballet positions, introductory ballet steps, and musical awareness (guiding their movement). Our highlight for this class is the “Surprise Box” time at the end of class where we encourage them to dance with different props using their own expression and some reviewing of what they’ve learned. We use different forms of creativity in our engaging class structure for our little dancers including dancing games and stories.

Pre Ballet, ages 5-7:
Pre Ballet is an extenuation of Creative Movement with adding more advanced ballet steps and positions, working on better poise and strength, and preparing them for a more structured Ballet I class.

Ballet I, ages 7-10
Our dancers in Ballet 1 develop stronger ballet technique while still enjoying some improvisation “surprise box” time at the end of class. We focus on developing their ballet termonology, strengthening their positions and poise, critiquing the execution of ballet steps and movement. Most of our students in this class have already had a year or two of dance experience but we do accept and encourage beginners in this age range.

Ballet II, ages 10-13
The focus for our Ballet II dancers is to continue their development of strength and technique but to also find their own individual strengths and work through their individual weaknesses. We do seek committed students at this age as ballet is a beautiful art that requires determination at this level. 

Ballet III, ages 12-15
At this level, the instruction is focused more on perfecting the technique they have been taught to this point in preparation for level IV. We concentrate on toning the muscles and defining the body placements. We encourage this group to begin to make dance their own, to feel the music and the steps as an expression of themselves.

Ballet IV, ages 15-18
With the exception of our adult class, this level is our highest. We develope expression in dance and continue to work on making the movements their own. More advanced technique is introduced and perfected. Pointe preparation and introduction take place in this level.

Adult Ballet, ages 18+
We encourage adults with either beginner or advanced dance experience. It is never too late to enjoy dance! Our adult class is a balance of challenge and grace. We love to work on challenges but also have grace for our age or limitations. We love to encourage you in your dance skill but also don’t want to press beyond your boundaries (just let us know your desired level). Our hope is that our adult class will be an outlet for your dancing desires, strengthening for your mind and muscles, and a get away to just enjoy yourself!

Combo Class, ages 3-7
In this class, our students recieve the best of both worlds! The first half of the class is basic ballet and the second half is basic tap. This class is designed for little ones who show a desire to learn both styles but are unable to handle two classes a week.

Jazz, ages 12-18
Jazz is for the dancer who prefers a little more upbeat and snappy. We will work on basic steps and technique as well as discover different styles.

Tap, ages 3-15
Tap is for the dancer who likes to make some noise! The classes are tailored to the students depending on their individual level. Practicing steps across the floor allows the students to move at their own pace and allows the teacher to add harder technique as the students progress.
