Children's Program  Ages 20 months - 6 y.o.

The Children’s Program offers an introduction to the art of dance. Through these classes the young child will discover fun in work and joy in discipline. This program is designed for children to see, feel and experience the beauty of dance. 

 

No previous ballet training is necessary for these classes. Our Children's Program is based on age, regardless of prior experience. Students must meet the appropriate age requirement by September 1st of the current school year.

     Creative Ballet/Tap (3-y.o.) 
This class seeks to fully engage the young child by stressing activities that are fun and imaginative, but that will help the young dancer develop coordination, large motor skills, musical and spatial awareness, as well as listening skills.

     Beginning Ballet/Tap (5-y.o.)
This class introduces students to an early study of classical ballet through age-appropriate skill development and music appreciation. Very basic ballet hand and foot positions are learned in conjunction with short improvisation and set dances. Age appropriate ballet vocabulary is included, complemented by stretching and strengthening exercises as preparation for more formal training.

      Primary Ballet/Tap (6-y.o.)

This class expands on the students' developing ballet vocabulary previously introduced, through exploration of barre and centre work. Exercises emphasize the development and support of balance, posture and spatial awareness as preparation for further barre work in Ballet I. More complex directed individual and group movement patterns are explored.
