These Classes Are Combination Classes

First Steps (Ages 3-5) Combo Class

(Note: Must be 3 by 8/31/2026)

At this age level, dance classes focus on pre-ballet movements to develop the student's flexibility, strength, muscle memory, and control. This class also includes creative movement to build coordination, spatial awareness and imagination. Tap class focuses on mastering single sounds and musical awareness, using song as well. This is a combo class of ballet/tap/creative movement.

ADDITIONAL CLASSES: First Steps Hip Hop & Acro (See below)

Fundamental Level I (age 5.5-6) - Combo Class

(Note: Must be 5.5 by 8/31/2026)

Students at this age will continue developing their ballet skills, incorporating the "French" terminology on which classical ballet is based. Their coordination skills will build on what they've learned, and their ankles and leg muscles will strengthen. Continued creative movement will build their ability to understand and respond to instruction. Tap classes will focus on using double sounds and new rhythm patterns as the main focus of this year. This is a combo class of ballet/tap/jazz.

ADDITIONAL CLASSES: Hippety Hip Hop * Lyrical I * Musical Theatre * Acro I

Fundamental Level II (7-8)

(Note: Must be 7 years old by 8/31/2026)

This level is the first for students who begin studying ballet and tap with a more in-depth understanding of what dance entails. Their ballet class focuses on strengthening the ankles through relevés. Tap includes mastering movements that travel the stage in more complicated patterns and expanding their terminology. Jazz progresses from stretching and flexibility to traveling across the floor, adding leaps and turns and exploring various styles of jazz dance. For this level, ballet, tap and/or jazz is offered.

NOTE: Students ages 9-10 years with no dance experience should start in this level to give them time to "catch up" on the terminology and technique needed to move into their own age group. If you have questions, please contact us.
