Preschool classes are 30 minutes and all other classes are 45 minutes. All classes have a minimum enrollment as well a maximum, please contact us for availability!
All classes end with a spring recital! The recital is an exciting time for everyone where you are able to see all the progress your dancer has made. The dancers perform in a fully costumed, professional production. Exact date a for recital will be announced in the fall.
Preschool classes- For ages 3 and 4. In this class we introduce movement and rhythm to our energetic preschoolers. Teaching ballet skills with upbeat and age appropriate music. We use props and lots of creativity to teach our little dancers while having fun. This class will perform one exciting dance at recital in our ballet shoes!
Combination Class- For grades Kindergarten/or 5 years and up. This class we work on skills with both ballet and tap. Ballet the students will continually build on ballet skills as well as learn traditional, lyrical, and contemporary ballet. Tap will introduce different style according to age and ability. This class performs a tap and a ballet dance in the recital.
Hip Hop/Jazz Classes- For grades 1st and up. Students will learn jazz and hip hop technique as well as gain strength and flexibility. Every year we focus on a certain style so your dancer gains knowledge of every style of dance. They will perform one thrilling dance in the recital!
Pointe- This class is an additional class for intermediate students and they must be enrolled in a combination class. Pointe is a skill that requires strength, discipline and knowledge of ballet skills to participate. The student must be approved to participate in this class by their teacher. We want to set your dancer up for success and sometimes that means one more year of building strength in ballet class before joining the pointe class. They will perform one exciting pointe dance in the recital.
Modern- For grades 3rd and up. Students will learn modern dance movement that involves floor work and reaction moves. A fun class where dancers learn improv dance movement and how to develop their own movements. Dancers will perform one beautiful dance in recital.

We will announce the recital dates as soon as we get it on the calendar with the school. Please, keep the whole weekend open as rehearsal and show times will not be announced until the spring. We start learning routines in January. Anyone who quits dancing after Jan 1st, or who misses dress rehearsal/recital will not be asked back to dance with us the following year.
