Ballet exercises including barre work, center work, and across the floor combinations, combined with creative lessons in rhythm, coordination, balance, and musicality stimulate students’ creativity and self-expression. (Suggested attire: ballet shoes, comfortable clothes for movement or leotards and tights)

This class uses movement activities and creative play to develop students’ motor skills, spatial awareness, movement quality, sense of rhythm, coordination, and balance. Most importantly students receive the foundation for future dance technique classes and classroom etiquette. (Suggested attire: shorts or sweatpants, t-shirts)

This class focuses on various hip-hop techniques including popping, locking, and house elements. Students have opportunities to work on their own freestyle abilities.

This class provides an introduction for young students and one accompanying adult to movement and dance.

Each student must bring only one adult to class and it should be the same adult from week to week. (Suggested attire: comfortable clothes for movement)
