Class Descriptions

These are basic class descriptions based on age appropriate skills, but are subject to change based on the individualized needs of the students and groups. This is just a general guideline for parents and dancers to have an understanding of some of the activities that will take place throughout the year. Most of our classes are Ballet classes. 

Also, please note that the ages listed beside each class are just a general guideline. There is a multitude of reasons why a child may be purposefully placed in a group that is not the “assigned” age group below. For instance, time, day, and scheduling issues, best placement for the child based on experience or level of performance, or the number of children in a particular age group may be the determinant of the assigned group for the child.

Not all classes are scheduled each Semester. Scheduling is based on interest in the classes offered!

Mini Baby Ballet (4-5 Year Olds): This 45 minutes/once a week class is designed to teach fun, whimsical, and creative body movements through exploring our imagination with role play, songs for learning, and the use of props.

This will help to build creativity, social skills, and having fun with exercise.

Costumes

The number of costumes that a dancer will need will depend on the number of routines he/she will be performing in the recital.

The cost of one costume usually ranges from $25-$50. We try to keep the cost of the costumes low without sacrificing the quality of the pieces we order.

Often, groups will need additional props, tights, etc. in addition to their costumes.

Optional Costs

At times, we may have t-shirts, warm-ups, etc. available for those dancers and/or parents who may be interested in making a purchase when we do. If an order is going to be placed, a sign will usually be posted in the front lobby in advance.

Some dancers may have the option to participate within a group or individually in a competition(s). These fees vary depending on the group, routine, and/or competition.
