Dance Classes:
Pre-School Programs:
We offer our Sparkle/Comet Program to all of our Pre-School & Kindergarten Kids. We have spent time designing a program to match the needs and desires of your little one while still giving them the dance basics that they will need later in dance.
Glimmer Sparkles: (2years-3.5 years old) 30 min class teaching them the Basic Tap & Ballet with flavors of Jazz. We begin to transfer basic knowledge of movements into basic knowledge of dance along with working through class room etiquette.
Dazzle Sparkles: (3.5- Kindergarten) 30 min class teaching them Basic Tap, Ballet, & Jazz. We are moving the knowledge they should already know about movement and directly relating it to dance, the classroom, and start applying it to technique. They should be able to start using the correct terminology of the movements and be able to execute most of them by themselves. They should also already have a good grasp of classroom etiquette.
Blaze Sparkles: (3.5- Kindergarten) 30 min class teaching them Basic Jazz and Hip Hop Moves. We are taking the basic knowledge they have about movement and relating it to different sections of their bodies. We will be teaching them how to separate the different sections of their body and start learning the technique needed for different "tricks" and moves. They should have a general idea of the basic body parts and have a good grasp on classroom etiquette.
Bronze & Attache Classes: (Beginning Level/ 1st-6th Grade)
All of our Bronze Level Classes are 45mins and based at the Beginning Level. (We instruct classes based on levels and not on ages. The Ages are only there as a guideline to follow. The student may move up or down no matter age or grade but based on the skill level assessed by their instructor.)
Jazz & Theater Jazz Combo Class: Enthusiastic or lively dancing, considered to be exaggerated or insincere at times. Generally has large kicks and fast turns and spins. Can tell the story of the lyrics through the dance in an "almost singing along" fashion at times.
Contemporary: A lyrical story telling dance that represents breathing in artistic, abstract forms of body and mind. (The best way I like to describe it is if Ballet and Jazz had a baby!)
Ballet: Graceful and Elegant movement that is the backbone of all dance styles! A type of performance dance that originated during the Italian Renaissance in the 15th century and later developed in to concert dance form in France and Russia. It has since been a wide-spread, highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary based on French terminology. Is a highly technical dance that takes many years of training.
Poms: (Basically Cheerleading) A high energy dance that involves kicks, formations, stunting, lifts, and you can never forget the sparkly pom-poms!
Please Note: we do not offer this class on a semester basis anymore due to a lack of interest. However, it is always available via our private lessons and/or if enough interest is shown we will look at adding it back into our curriculum.
Tap: A dance performed wearing shoes fitted with metal taps, characterized by rhythmic tapping of the toes and heels.
