This is a progressive four year preparatory program for Dance Technique in our Ballet, Jazz, Modern, and Hip Hop programs.  This program has a very strong ballet element, and focuses on all of the dance concepts.  Dancers explore movement accompanied by many styles of music – classical, world, rock, and popular children’s songs.  The instructor’s focus is to make the class fun, challenging, and rewarding.  The technique in this class is based on the principals of early childhood and primary education, the Royal Academy of Dance ballet syllabus, and Creative Dance Technique developed by Dr. Anne Green Gilbert and Mary Joyce.

General Skills:
  • Listening to the teacher
  • Working in a group
  • Learning class structure; working in a circle and in lines, coming across the floor in twos and threes
  • Practicing a proper technique
