Preschool & Early Childhood Classes

PRESCHOOL & Early Childhood CLASSES (2.5-4 YEARS)

We’re famous for our unique, developmentally-aligned approach to early childhood and preschool dance!

We are the founding studio of the Magnificent Movement™ curriculum and teaching method, which combines the highest standard of practices for teaching children ballet and modern technique, while simultaneously embracing creativity and individuality to provide a positive and fun environment.  This program reinforces the motor, social, and cognitive development that is already naturally occurring in children while encouraging spatial, auditory, and sequential learning. Parents love knowing that their kids are learning valuable skills for life, but kids only know they are having fun!

Kindergarten and First Grade Classes

KINDERGARTEN and First Grade CLASSES (4.5-7 YEARS)

Our creative, stimulating kids classes utilize only age-appropriate movement and music to combine principles of education and dance, combined with children's natural development patterns, to create an unforgettable and exciting movement class for children. Children learn about concepts of space, pattern, anatomy, rhythm, while building sequential memory, balance, and coordination. While named “Kindergarten Dance”, these non-traditional classes are appropriate for children in any grade, aged 4.5-7 years old.

Elementary Classes

Elementary Classes (6-11 Years)

Our elementary dance classes are designed for students ages 6 & up of all skill levels seeking traditional dance instruction.  The objective of these classes is to enrich the students while creating a fun, supportive learning environment in which to appreciate the art of dance and joy it provides.  Classes are free of intimidation and build self-confidence and body awareness.

Teen and Tween Classes

Teens and Tweens Classes (11 years and up)

Our teen and tween classes utilize the solid foundation established in the younger classes and give motivated, intermediate-to-advanced level students the opportunity for increased training and growth.  Classes challenge the students with more complex skills, concepts, and combinations, expanding their creativity, individuality, body awareness, stamina, and strength.  Choices include ballet, modern, jazz, pointe, choreography, variations, and more.  The wide array of dance classes is designed to cultivate technique and artistry while still increasing self confidence, expression, and critical thinking.

Mini Session Classes

Mini Session CLASSES (all ages)

These mini versions of classes are perfect for beginner dancers or those that want to sample a new style, without the month to month commitment. Offerings vary throughout the season for a variety of dance styles and age groups. As an added bonus, there is no uniform or shoe requirement. As these sessions fill fast, there are no introductory lessons offered for mini session classes. Keep an eye on this page as new sessions are always added!

Adults Only

Adult Only Classes

Our adult mini-session classes are perfect for those who danced when younger and want to get back into it, those who want to incorporate extra movement into their fitness regiment, or beginners who are looking to get started. Our experienced instructors are able to offer modifications for those who have no dance experience while simultaneously offering more complex options for those with more experience. Classes will incorporate combinations as well as across the floor and center warm-ups that will leave a smile on your face. No dress code or leotards required - just show up ready to move!
