Designed to instill a love of dance and an enduring appreciation of physical activity through imaginative movement and play, students will learn spatial awareness, rhythm and personal expression. This class offers an excellent foundation in early dance explorations and serves as a bridge into our Preliminary Division.



Creative Movement and Music AGES 3–4

Students are introduced to basic dance movements, beginner ballet, and music skills. Levels are carefully constructed for each age group, encouraging rhythm, coordination, creativity, and listening skills. Informal presentations are held for parents at the end of the year. New students are accepted into the Preliminary Division on a first come, first served basis without audition. 



Preliminary Division AGES 5–7

The Lower Division introduces students to a more structured class environment. The focus becomes on correct placement of the body so students build a strong foundation for future development.

I'm a part of a performance company that rents the campus of the Walnut School, and it's lovely. It is a fantastic place to practice and perform after a recent makeover.
