The Dance Haven’s mission is exactly what it implies: a place to learn to dance. Ultimately it is a place where students gain strong core values such as; discipline, determination, self-esteem, confidence, self-expression, and respect for themselves and others; while obtaining an education in dance that is top quality and affordable.
We believe that while providing a fun atmosphere for learning, it is also imperative to train and prepare the serious dancer who aspires to reach their individual goals whether recreational or professional. This is a place for all who have the simple desire to dance and learn to dance no matter what level they wish to take their dance education. There are no limits to the belief we have in our students as long as they believe in themselves. Our teaching methods are sound and based on progressive learning.
This class teaches basic ballet and tap techniques. Students will learn the elementary positions, exercises, ballet terminology, and rhythmic skills of the elementary tap. This class is designed for students to explore music and dance while developing skills for continued training. We use both contemporary and traditional teaching methods, utilizing musicality, tumbling, and fun dance games so that students will gain physical coordination. Through progressive learning, they develop the ability to move on to the next level of learning. Students are given the opportunity to perform one dance in our annual dance recital.
