Pre Ballet & Tap
I'd rather be dancing!
Pre Ballet and Tap:
Pre Ballet and Tap combination classes are one of the best ways for a young dancer to begin their dance training. Fun and fast moving, preschool and primary level combination classes introduce the student to the basics of both ballet and tap. Rhythmic movement develops poise, flexibility, self discipline, sharing, and grace within the class participants. Basic dance terms are introduced and reinforced through creative activities. Locomotor skills needed in school are always stressed in a fun way in each class. The children love to sing & dance, use fun props, learn short dances and make up their own!
Older students may study classical ballet at our studio and may also try out for our performing group. Classical Ballet stresses academic technique developed through the centuries. Examples of classical ballets are Coppélia, Sleeping Beauty, Nutcracker and Swan Lake. Dancers of all ages learn self discipline, strength, endurance, and projection of their own dance qualities as they execute barre and center floor technique. Performance of dance combinations and choreography further enhance the student's poise, grace, posture, self esteem and creativity. Serious students progress most quickly with multiple classes per week though recreational students suffice with less. Pointe work is by placement.
