Ages 2-5

We offer classes for children as young as 2 years. In our “Mommy & Me” class children learn to dance side-by-side with a parent/guardian. Dance, song and story are used in this gently structured class to introduce your little one to the arts.  Children ages 3-5 may progress on to “Beginner Ballet” where these little ones learn invaluable social skills, a sense of discipline, and how to control their bodies in motion, and/or “Ballet/Tap” where ballet basics are taught along with introductory tap steps and dance routines

Ballet

Our Ballet program is under the direction of Mrs. Andrea Stafford and is guided by the standards set forth by the Cecchetti Council of America. By ages 5 (by invitation) or 6 children will begin Ballet Level 1 classes.  All ballet dancers will begin to study Primary I syllabus, followed by Primary II and III. Once these levels are completed the dancer will move into classical ballet training. When studying the Cecchetti syllabus, a minimum of 3 ballet classes per week are recommended in order for the dancer to become a candidate for exams. Ballet is the bases of all forms of dance. It can encourage life long physical activity, coordination, balance, confidence, and excellent posture and body awareness in your children and teens.

Tap

Little ones love to make noise and they can have fun doing so while learning the fundamentals of rhythm and musicality in our energetic tap classes.  Tap is an invigorating form of dance in which dancers create rhythmic patterns and beats with their feet.  It is great cardiovascular exercise and enjoyable at all ages.   Our instructors have taught in music theatre programs at both the University of Windsor and St Clair College and have performed and competed all over North America. Young dancers can step into their tap shoes and start to learn about tap in Ballet/Tap (ages 3-5). From here, students will move on to a full tap class for ages 4-7....and on from there. We also offer Beginner tap classes for Adults.
