CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Creative Ballet: Students will learn basic ballet steps while also learning how to point feet, stretch legs, hold arm placement and remember movement phrases. Students will work on building strength, flexibility, musicality, and self awareness while still enjoying games, dance stories, and creative play.

Ballet 1 & 2: These classes bridge the gap between pre-ballet and more serious ballet studies. Students are introduced to more formal training through ballet barre exercises, center work, traveling steps, and choreography. Students focus on correct posture, alignment, and feet and arm placement in order to develop a strong foundation for more advanced classical ballet training.

Flow Arts Jazz: A fusion of jazz and flow arts dance, this unique class designed by Miss Katie explores a wide range of organic and eclectic movement through the use of props like hula hoops, ribbons and wings. Students will find the joy and artistry of dance while experiencing proper technique, building strength and learning a variety of choreography.
