Youth Dance

Youth Ballet Classes
Pre-School & Kindergarten
This class is for children ages 3 through 6. The children will experience a fun introduction to the disciplined dance style of Ballet. While building coordination and practicing a dancer's posture, the students will acquire back strength and the ability to associate movements with the beat of the music. The students will also learn the five ballet positions and they will be asked to display their new skills and knowledge in a performance (optional) later in the year. This class will provide the children with a positive outlet for energy release as well as enhancing their self-image.
Youth 7-14
These classes will demonstrate the many aspects of Ballet beginning at a slow pace with posture, positions and bar work. Gradually, the students will begin basic steps, jumps and turns while also establishing proper turn out. This class is a beginner class and will be treated like one in all age groups. However, even intermediate and advanced dancers will benefit from having the opportunity to master the basics as well as to stretch, perform and receive constructive criticism.
