What a great way to introduce dance at an early age!

A dynamic class designed for our youngsters under the age of 3.  Parents will participate along with the child in order to encourage correct movements and help maintain discipline.  The class includes stretching and body awareness exercises; travelings steps are practiced while encouraging creative exploration.  Also, basic rhythmic exercises will be introduced.  It's a fun and nurturing class that we are sure you and your child will love!

Creative Combo 1 (Ages 3-4)

This class is designed for the beginner dancer with the child in mind. Basic Fundamentals such as motor skills, balance coordination as well and musicality will help develop the student’s love for dance. This class will be split in time between ballet, basic gymnastic skills, creative movement, dance games and tap. Creative Combo classes are filled with lots of energy and use different props such as scarves, ribbons and bean bags, to keep the child’s mind and attention engaged.

Creative movement is a parent child class, where the parents and children participate in creative exercises that spark the child’s mind to make dance and exercise lots of fun! This class will be taught in 8 week sessions throughout the year. 

Young Dancer Combo (Ages 7-8)
These classes become more structured as the child develops an awareness of their own physical coordination and musicality. Age appropriate exercises and warm-ups are given in half-hour segments of ballet, jazz & tap.


Intermediate & Junior Dancer Combo (Ages 9 & 10) & (Ages 11-14)
As the dancer matures so does the class in an even more structured series of studying ballet, jazz and tap. The student will become a more independent dancer through this course with the disciplines learned such as self-respect, self confidence, creativity and self expression. This will help instill an appreciation not only for the art of dance but for one’s self. The class time will be split into ¾ hours for ballet & jazz, & ½ hour for tap. We also recommend that the students in this class take Intermediate Ballet offered on Wednesdays for additional technique and training.
