Class Descriptions
We know if this is your first time looking into dance, all of these class names can get confusing. So we put this page together to help you understand what classes we offer, what the different styles of dance are, and what kind of expectations we have for our dancers as they advance through our levels.

Dance With Me
Ages 2-3
Ages 2-3
Our Dance With me class is a 30 minute, adult involved class where 2-3 year old dancers are introduced to the classroom setting and start to work on building their gross motor skills. This class will use a modified version of the first 30 minutes of our 3-4 year old combo class to introduce new dancers to how our classes are run and help them make a smooth transition into taking class without the help of mom, dad, or another adult when they move into our 3-4 year old combo class.
Dance With Me classes are run in 6 week sessions and have a separate tuition schedule as well.

Our combo classes are designed for younger dancers who are not quite ready for a full hour of one dance style. These classes start with 20-30 min of ballet, learning ballet positions and basic steps. After a short bathroom and drink break, class resumes for tap or jazz to start learning the beginning tap or jazz steps as well as working on some gross motor skills. Most classes end with a game of freeze dance and a stamp or sticker to reward good classroom behavior.
Combo classes for 3-4 year olds focus more on learning gross motor sills and proper classroom behavior while 5-6 year old classes focus on perfecting those skills an moving on to more complex dance moves commonly found in the style of dance they are learning.

Class Levels
Classes for students 9 and older are given a level between 1 and 3.
