Elements 1 (Kindergarten)
Elements is a ballet and tap class. It is the first step of our Core Program aiming to give our young dancers the foundational skills needed to launch their development as dancers: beginner ballet technique and musicality and rhythm from tap. Dancers will begin in ballet and then change shoes for tap. Dancers will perform ONE dance in the Recital.
Ballet is an essential component to developing as a dancer. All technical work such as leaps, turns, kicks, extensions, and body control stem from ballet training. The necessary understanding of body alignment and isolations come from ballet training as well. Ballet is a core part of our program so that dancers can express themselves and quickly pick up the styles of jazz, lyrical, contemporary, and hip hop.
