Young Children Program Guide

For our littlest ones we have developed a program to introduce young students to the world of dance.
 
Our CURTAIN UP program is an exciting overview of the programs that are offered at our studio - Ages 3 to 4.  Here, students begin to learn, through TAP, how sounds fit into music and to immediately tap into their musicality; through pre-BALLET, the grace of movement;  through JAZZ basics how to isolate the different parts of their bodies.  The program is quite varied, making it an exciting  beginning of our young students' dance education. 
 
The next step in our young children’s dance development is either our Young Children's TAP/JAZZ-FUNK Combination or our YOUNG CHILDREN'S BALLET program.
 
In the Tap/Jazz-Funk combo program the beginnings of stage & pop dancing are approached. Tap rhythmics are very helpful at this age.  Children learn how to count music, they are reinforced by sounds they make and learn how their movements fit into music thus developing their musicality.  The Jazz/Funk training is very popular with all students because of the contemporary music and movements that they see on television or movies such as Disney's "High School Musical".
 
In our Young Children's BALLET programs, students begin classical ballet technique at the ballet barre and in center with age appropriate exercises, games and routines.
