Toddlers

CREATIVE MOVEMENT This is an introductory dance class for three year olds. It is a loosely structured ballet class that teaches movement in a fun and exploratory way. Students will explore movement through music, develop physical skills, stimulate imagination and encourage creativity. Little ones will enjoy using props like bridges, rhythm instruments, ribbon bracelets and more. The curriculum is designed to gently introduce the youngest students to ballet, while instilling the physical and emotional confidence to explore and create. We focus on concepts such as perception, directionality and memory. This class participates in our year end recital.

Lyrical & Contemporary

APSD offers 6 levels of lyrical in addition to contemporary. Lyrical dance is the interpretation of the lyrics of a song. This class blends the sustained controlled movement of ballet with freedom, power, and dynamics of jazz and modern dance. It is based on the teacher's style of choreography and the song as opposed to percussive rhythms. This style of movement is often used to tell a story with strong emotional content. We offer this class on the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels for all ages. Contemporary is an expressive form of dance that also draws from ballet and jazz movements in a less structured style. Body contractions, flexed feet, asymmetrical body shapes and floor work are examples of this dance form. Currently, we only offer contemporary as an advanced level. It is required that both lyrical and contemporary classes be taken in conjunction with Ballet.
