Dance with Me & Creative MovementDance with Me is for the tiniest of dancers ages 2 & up. This class is structured like a Creative Movement class, but a parent or caregiver attends the class with the child. Creative Movement is for dancers ages 3 & up who are ready to do a class without mom or dad! This 30 minute class is a great way to explore movement in the classroom setting. Lots of props, lots of music, and lots of fun!! *We realize the class times aren't ideal for our youngest dancers this year. Due to COVID-19, we decreased class sizes and our priority was to make sure we had a spot for all our returning dancers. If these times don't work for you, please check back next season as things will hopefully look much different! |
Combo ClassesCombo classes are for dancers ages nearly 5 to 7. This 45 minute class combines tap, ballet, and jazz in an exciting overview of dance with age-appropriate progression of skills. Each age has their own specific Combo Level so that dancers are grouped with other dancers of their same age/grade.

Recreational TrackThis track is designed for students 8+ with a variety of interests outside of dance. Attendance requirements are more flexible, however, consistent attendance will be required during recital season (Jan-May). Both the Intensive Track and the Recreational Track will follow a numerical level designation starting at Level I (ages 8+). Since they are very similar in the beginning, a student could choose either track that best fits their schedule. At Levels 2 and 3 the training distinctions become greater and students would then choose which track they want to follow.

Intensive TrackThis track is designed for students that are fully committed to their dance training. Content and demands become more rigorous as students progress. For example, Ballet at least once per week becomes a requirement at Level 3, and twice per week at Levels 4 & up. This track includes pointe work (optional) at Level 4. Attendance expectations are higher—students may not miss more than 3 consecutive training classes, and at Level 3 & up may not miss more than 1 consecutive choreography class during recital season (Jan-May) without their absences affecting their spot in the dance. Students will follow a designated curriculum with mastery requirements, imperative for physical safety and advancement to the next level.
