Baby Boogie & Me: (1 ½ - 2 ½ yrs)
Sometimes it takes two to Boogie! Baby Boogie & me provides 45 minutes of baby dance with a parent by their side. Teachers incorporate music, singing, and props to help our youngest dance students gain early dance and baby "tumbling" experience. Students gain balance, strength and flexibility through this early dance curriculum and also enjoy cognitive benefits through the memorization of songs, and the auditory and physical patterns of dance. Dancers should be able to come out to the dance floor by themselves before moving up to Twirly Tots. Twirly Tots: (2 ½ - 4 yrs)
Toddlers love to dance! Twirly Tots enjoy 45 minutes of dance with music and song as the backdrop. Tumbling gives them flexibility to their movement. Tap challenges our toddlers’ auditory and fine motor skills; and while they soften their steps in Ballet, they develop the early grace and balance essential to dancers. Jazz helps develop the coordination to hop, skip and hip shake which always adds plenty of fun to the class! Kinderdance: (4-6 yrs)
For the older preschooler/kindergartner, this program provides the important foundation for developing your child into a well-rounded dancer. The curriculum focuses on Tumbling, Tap, Ballet and Jazz. Emphasis is placed on age appropriate proper technique. Students learn in a performance based environment, mastering technique while learning the music and choreography to dance routines. Young dancers love to perform and this class helps them develop performance skills and prepares them for more advanced academy dance classes and team programs. Academy Dance: (6 yrs & up)
Our goal is to provide excellent dance training through a concentration of the basic dance discipline of Tap, Ballet and Jazz, augmented by a variety of elective dance choices such as Jazz/Funk, Leaps & Turns, Jazz/Tumbling, and Musical Theater.
