4 Year Old & Kindergarten & 1st Grade - These are hour long classes and consist of pre-ballet, tap, and acrobatics. They are an extension of the 3-year-old class and increases as the children get older and move into the next level. The focus in the 4-year-old class is doing little dances based on nursery rhymes, the focus in kindergarten class is again on holiday dances, and the 1st grade focus is on dances from different countries.

1st & 2nd Grade Beginner - This is one hour long class consisting of ballet, tap, and acrobatics. This class starts very basics and is suited for children 6 -8 years old with no experience.

1st Year/Beginner Level - 1st year ballet/tap/jazz is for all students beginning in this level whether they are beginners or have had previous experience. The first year is very important in teaching the basic foundation for all tpes of dance.

Pre-Intermediate Level - This is a 2 year class and can only be taken by students who have completed their first year class. Many steps are taught at this level and take time to master. At the end of the 3rd year, your dancer will get a solo. (The 3 years must be in the same type of dance)

Intermediate Level - The intermediate level is generally a 3 year level. If taking classical ballet, class becomes 1 1/4 hours and this would be the level they begin using toe shoes. Intermediate jazz and tap are still 1 hour long but the level of dance taught is extremely challenging. Your dancer must have had at least 3 years of experience in a certain dance form to be in this level. At the end of this level, your dancer will have a solo.

Advanced Level - This class is generally for high school students and older that have had a leat 6 years of training in the type of dance of their choice. Sometimes students that work very hard and progress quickly may be asked to join this class earlier. Advanced classes are extremely difficult and require a lot of focus. Students will receive their solo in their senior year of high school. You must be recommended for this level.

Acrobatics - Our acrobatic program is not as large as our other programs and we usually mix levels. Basic tumbling, backbends, cartwheels and handstands. There is no gym equipment used in this class, only mats.

Hip Hop - Hip Hop is a form of popular music that originated among inner-city youths in the 1980's, drawing on Rap, Funk, Street sounds, and fragments of melody and rhythm borrowed from previously recorded sources.

Modern - Modern is a dance form that ties in ballet, jazz and lyrical. Modern dance is very spiritual and allows a lot of free movement. Our modern class is based on the Graham technique.

Irish Step - This class is very fast paced and is a mixture of Irish Step Dance and Ceili dancing. This class is great fun and is also a great workout.

Ballroom Dance - This class is designed for couples and singles too!! This class normally runs in 5 week sessions and teaches you how to swing, do the foxtrot, the waltz, and the cha cha. This class is a great way to get out and have some fun with other couples. Private ballroom classes are also available.

We also offer Adult Classes in Hip-Hop, Jazz and Tap.
