Classes

Mommy & Me

Ages: 18 months – up to 3 years old - this class will NOT participate in the recital

Mommy and Me class is a fun, upbeat class where a young child and parent, grandparent, relative, or other special caregivers engage in a variety of music and movement activities together. The class provides special bonding time with your child and allows you to meet other families in your area. You will help your child in activities that encourage gross motor skills such as walking, crawling, and hopping. We will use various hands-on props such as colorful scarves, shaker toys, and bean bags. With your assistance, little ones will practice listening skills, sharing skills, and will become acclimated to the structure of a dance class.

​

This class is offered year round and will NOT participate in the recital.  The class is limited to one adult per registered child.

Creative Dance

Introduction to dance and music for young children ages 3-5.  Your child will explore the world of creativity through movement, imaginative play, and emotional expression.  

​

Discovering Dance

We offer two 60-minute classes for children in Kindergarten - Ballet/Jazz and Ballet/Tap (formerly known as Pre-Ballet and Pre-Tap/Jazz).  Dancers are not required to sign up for both classes, but taking both classes is highly encouraged to provide a strong foundation for study in any or all disciplines.

Early Elementary

The Academy offers developmentally appropriate classes for early elementary aged students. For students in 1st grade (or up to age 9 with no prior experience), we introduce a new program featuring Beginning Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Hip Hop classes, each lasting 45 minutes. Our experienced instructors create a positive and nurturing environment to encourage creativity, boost confidence, and promote physical fitness. Students can choose one or all of the dance styles offered, allowing them to explore different forms of dance. Enroll your child today for a joyful dance journey in our supportive and inspiring studio!
