The Children's Program
The Children's Program fosters a child's natural love of dance. Fun and creativity are the basis of The Children's Program to ensure dancers have fun and make friends. Learning through play and structure is an amazing way to balance a young dancer.
We strive to teach a strong technical base that is developmentally appropriate for the age of each level. Our curriculum for each level has been developed by experienced teachers to ensure safety while learning dance fundamentals needed for future training.
​
Utilization of combo classes at this young age gives dancers more exposure to the benefits of all styles, creating strong, diverse dancers. Dancers will even get to perform in each style in our Spring Performance! (Don't worry parents, this will not mean buying two costumes.)
​
To ensure proper technique and strength necessary to all styles of dance, dancers who are under 8 are required to take ballet along with any other dance styles they choose, with the exception of hip hop.
*Ages are based on dancer's ages as of 9/1.
