CHILDREN'S DIVISION
PRE-BALLET
PRE-BALLET - Students focus on good posture and proper alignment. Simple stretches, isolation exercises, and sections of creative movement help to develop strength, flexibility and body awareness . Traveling movements such as gallops, skips and waltz steps encourage coordination and musicality. Listening skills and classroom etiquette are emphasized.
ACRO ARTS
AcroArts is a progressional based program that builds the dancer up through strength, flexibility, balance, limbering, and tumbling for safe execution of acrobatic movement in dance. This class is for students age 7 and up who have had at least 2 years of ballet training.

BALLET II
Students progress through these levels as through grades in any school: however, all students move at different rates. Some may spend more than two years in one level while the mind and body learn to work together; some may progress much faster. When the student has learned the ballet technique appropriate for each level and when the student’s body has become strong enough to accomplish those movements then, at the discretion of the instructor, the student is moved to the next level. Advancement is based on ability, not age. In this way the student begins to assimilate the layers of knowledge that form the foundation of ballet.
JAZZ I, II
Jazz classes will focus on learning proper dance technique such as isolations of the body, improving performance quality, and developing complex rhythms and patterns. Students will be exposed to various styles of jazz such as Broadway, Street, and Contemporary to help develop a well-rounded dancer.
