BeAKid
Pre-Dance Ages 2-4
An introduction to ballet using creative, imaginative role-playing and fun props. This class may involve pretending to be animals, playing instruments to learn rhythm, learning to balance, skipping and running and techniques using costumes and ribbons or picking up “diamonds” (shhh…they’re actually just feathers) from the ground to develop their hand-eye coordination. This class is suitable for both boys and girls who are having so much fun that they don’t even realize that they are learning the fundamentals of ballet technique along the way. This class can be combined with our Tot Hip-Hop and Tumble Tot class.

BALLET
In this class, our dancers build on their ballet technique using creative role-play, costumes, props and will thrive from positive reinforcement. There are opportunities for students in this class to participate in ballet exams, which will encourage them to progress through the program/syllabus and work hard to move up into the next graded level.

CONTEMPORARY / LYRICAL
Contemporary and Lyrical dance classes are fusion genres of movement that come from the basic techniques and skills found in Ballet, Jazz, and Modern dance styles. Students will explore learning improvisation, partnering and weight sharing exercises in addition to technique. This class emphasizes interpretation of music and lyrics while telling a story. Students will learn that movement has different qualities that can be complex, fluid or abstract. All students must be taking a Ballet class to enroll in a Contemporary or Lyrical class.
