Dance

Beyone beginner level, teachers place our dance program students place in levels, according to various factors, including age, experience and achievement. Each dance discipline has its own set of levels, and they do not necessarily correlate for an individual student, so, for example, a Level 4 Ballet student might be at Level 5/6 for Mordern and Level 3 for Tap.

Kinderdance: 

Saturday 10:45-11:45 for 5-6 years

 ½ hour ballet and ½ hour tap! This is a great introduction to the basics of both dance forms that will help promote balance, change of weight, and improve rhythm and promote musicality in movement while still remaining fun!  This class is an excellent one for both girls and boys! 32 weeks: $387
