Rhythm in Motion

For ages 4-6 who must be at least 4 years old as of 9/1/2024. Rhythm in Motion explores creative movement and discovery alongside learning beginning ballet steps. Each child will gain awareness of music, rhythm, muscular strength, and coordination. This class emphasizes creative self-expression through movement to music.

Elementary Ballet

For ages 6-7 who must be at least 6 years old as of 9/1/2024. This class is a young dancer’s introduction to classical ballet technique and vocabulary. Students will learn and develop musical appreciation – this includes both quality and rhythm, as well as the coordination of their movements to the music. Classes are structured to provide a strong foundation as students move into the Pre-Professional Program the following year. In addition to physical strength, students also develop memory and patterning skills as well as following specific directions.
