Special dances & musical activities help develop a child's sense of rhythm and an awareness of the rich language of music. Includes floor work, tumbling and other mat work; and large movements across the floor.

Children also learn to share time, space, and attention with their dance mates. This class is for children with no previous ballet training.

Focus is on strengthening the young body and increasing coordination, fostering creativity, and self-expression, and preparing a foundation for ballet training.

 

A graded system of placing students according to age, training, ability and effort is practiced. This policy guarantees steady progress and the fullest development of each student's individual potential, and should be clearly understood by students and their parents.

The fourth year of training is not a simple repetition of the second or third year. There are specific goals to be met each semester. Keep in mind that children develop at their own pace.

Good teaching is a building process. A firm foundation of basic technique must be laid which will later be expanded and refined.

Students will have a feeling of self-confidence from being placed in their proper group.

All classes should progress at a pace that is challenging, yet not so fast that anyone gets "lost by the wayside".
