Beginning Tap 1 (ages 5-8)
This class is for dancers who may already have received tap dance instruction in our Preschool Combo 2 classes or for ages 5+ who are new to tap dance.

Steps introduced/improved upon in this class include, but are not limited to: shuffle, taps, digs, hops, irish, perididdle, spank, ball change, stomp, stamp, step, and brush tap (this becomes a flap).

This class is for little ones who are eager to begin dance classes and ready to learn independently. This class engages toddlers at their level to introduce them to concepts of dance in an inviting and encouraging manner. Similar to our Mommy and Me Pre-ballet curriculum in the beginning of the season, we use props and song stories to introduce movement concepts to young bodies that are still grasping basic motor skills. As we progress during the year, we will modify the course to mirror more of the preschool ballet curriculum, taking away place markers, learning all ballet positions, teaching combinations, and other basic ballet positions and movement skills.

Steps introduced/improved upon in this class include, but are not limited to: shuffle, taps, digs, hops, irish, perididdle, spank, ball change, stomp, stamp, step, and brush tap (this becomes a flap).

This class is for little ones who are eager to begin dance classes and ready to learn independently. This class engages toddlers at their level to introduce them to concepts of dance in an inviting and encouraging manner. Similar to our Mommy and Me Pre-ballet curriculum in the beginning of the season, we use props and song stories to introduce movement concepts to young bodies that are still grasping basic motor skills. As we progress during the year, we will modify the course to mirror more of the preschool ballet curriculum, taking away place markers, learning all ballet positions, teaching combinations, and other basic ballet positions and movement skills.

Toddler Pre-Ballet
This class is for little ones who are eager to begin dance classes and ready to learn independently. This class engages toddlers at their level to introduce them to concepts of dance in an inviting and encouraging manner. Similar to our Mommy and Me Pre-ballet curriculum in the beginning of the season, we use props and song stories to introduce movement concepts to young bodies that are still grasping basic motor skills. As we progress during the year, we will modify the course to mirror more of the preschool ballet curriculum, taking away place markers, learning all ballet positions, teaching combinations, and other basic ballet positions and movement skills.

Stretch & Strengthening (ages 6-8)
This class helps to develop and strengthen the dance muscles. For example, we strengthen our feet for pointed toes and sustained forced arches, we isolate and tone our hamstrings and abductors for turns, kicks, and balance, we strengthen our core for control of movement, we work on flexibility for leaps and jumps. We leverage yoga blocks, balls, bands, and other measures to attain optimal isolation of the muscles and the mildest yet sustained stretches for developing lean but tone muscles.
