Through active, imaginative dance play, your child will develop coordination, strength, and stability. In a creative, community-focused classroom, children become confident with ballet-based vocabulary and foundational movement patterns through music, games, and creative exploration.
Creative Ballet - 5-6 years
Starting with foundations learned in Playful Dance, your child will strengthen their confidence, control, musicality, and ability to collaborate. This class introduces children to the ballet barre, more challenging movement combinations, and choreography tools to develop their own movement style.
Dance Party - 6-9 years

What to wear:
Dance Together, Joyful Movement, Playful Dance: Bare feet and comfortable clothing that’s easy to move in. Leggings and bare feet are perfect. Leotards, tights, and tutus are a lovely option, but not required. Shorts or leotards must be worn under dresses so that underwear is not visible. Since the floor can be slippery, please avoid sending your child in socks or footed tights. Hair should be pulled back and out of the dancer’s face- Ponytails, braids, and headbands do the trick.
Creative & Formative Ballet: Hair securely pulled back from face and off neck, ballet shoes, dance clothes such as comfortable tops, leggings, shorts, leotards, and skirts.
Formative Modern: Bare feet. Hair securely pulled back from face and off neck, dance clothes such as leotards, tights, leggings, dance skirts or shorts. Boys may wear dance pants, shorts, or leggings with a t-shirt.
