Class Descriptions

A, B and C Classes – For many of our classes other than Ballet, you will see levels A, B and C. Level A is an intermediate level due to the age range that it begins and progresses to level C.

Preschool 1 – This is a creative movement class catered to our 3 year olds. Imagination and fun are the foundation of this class. Students will also work on gross motor skills, mimicking the teacher, ear training, music and rhythm, coordination, body control, and foundational concepts and vocabulary for future dance classes.

Preschool 2 – This is a creative movement class is catered to our 4 year olds and builds on the previous year’s foundational concepts. Imagination and fun are emphasized, as well as, gross motor skills, mimicking the teacher, ear training, music and rhythm, coordination, body control, and vocabulary.

Pre-Ballet
– Geared toward ages 4-5. With lots of fun and energy throughout, this class builds on the creative movement learned in Cherub with additional concepts, vocabulary and exercises. It is also a great place for new students to begin their first dance experience.

Intro-Ballet
– This class introduces exercises at the ballet barre, beginning to place more focus on body control and positions. Students continue to use their imagination to learn new skills and concepts. It is geared toward ages 6-7 and continues to also be a great class for students who are getting their start in dance.

Ballet
– Ballet is a historic art form dating as far back at the 16th century, having been developed and passed on through generations. Each teacher can name a genealogy of instructors and mentors who passed on the technique and artistic inspiration. We begin with Ballet 1, generally ages 7-8, and slowly develop the musculature, physical and mental strength, and flexibility to progress through Ballet 8. By this time, we work to prepare dancers for the rigorous demands of training, choreography retention, as well as, rehearsal and performance schedules.

Pointe – Ballet dancing that is performed on the tip of the toes. We observe dancers on an individual basis as they enter Pointe to ensure proper muscle and structural development for safety. We then teach a progressive process to bring the student into the higher levels and demands of Pointe work.

Jazz – Jazz dance is a style that progressed out of the 20th century African American culture and now includes an array of Jazz styles. Our teachers offer a blend of styles.

Contemporary – Contemporary is a form of dance that by name is always changing, as it is always something recent in the industry. It tends to be more loose and open to individual expression and it requires a strong foundation in ballet.

Tap – Tap is dance that is rhythm-centric and comes in several forms such as broadway and hoofing. Our teachers offer a mix depending on the age and level.

Musical Theatre – This class brings all of our favorite show-tunes and musicals into the classroom for students to learn and enjoy. There is an emphasis on facial expression and emotive movements in the class.

Acro – Our Acro classes focus on strengthening for acrobatics that relate to stage performance such as aerials and tumbling.
