Dance
We have the most creative preschool program in the Richmond area! Pre ballet, tap and jazz skills will be taught using fun song and dance activities as well as a ton of props and tons of fun! We will do additional work on rhythm skills and gross motor skills. This class prepares your child for the combo level one class the following season. Children who attend this class LOVE it !! It helps smooth the transition and make for a more successful experience in the combo level one. Get ready for FUN!
This class explores the basics of ballet and tap. Ballet at this level utilizes large gross motor skills, tap builds rhythm and fine motor control skills. We use a wide variety of music from classical to the latest in clean kids pop ! We also include creative movement exercises to stimulate your child's free spirit and creativity. A great all around class to give your child the foundations of dance technique and Get your child spinning and jumping with joy ! This class prepares your child for combo level two.
A continuation of level one. This class produces an amazing progression from level one. Technical skills make rapid progress, The children can count music and complete new material at a faster tempo and with more confidence. A fun class with all the creativity of level one. New challenges and new material. This class prepares students for their first full hour, one subject class the following season.
This class is designed for students who have completed the Ballet/Tap Combo 2 class, but still would like both ballet and tap in their single hour class. The Combo 3 class will cover approximately half of the ballet material covered in Ballet 1 and half of the Tap 1 curriculum.
Full hour ballet based on the italian Cecchetti system and accented by French and Russian techniques. We believe that ballet provides the basic foundations for all the dance arts, as well as for gymnastics, skating, and cheerleading. Ballet may be the most important foundation you can give your child. Pointe classes are available by teacher recommendation only. A minimum of 2 classes a week are required for pointe.
The pre-pointe class is designed to develop the necessary strength in the abdomen, feet, and legs for pointe work, and to develop correct technique. Proper development of technique and strength will then lead to more rapid development in a full pointe class, and that dancers will see the rewards of their hard work much sooner than without the preparations. The pre-pointe class is taken in addition to their regular ballet technique class each week. Pre-pointe classes are taken in regular ballet technique shoes.
- POINTE
Must have instructor's approval for this class. This class is a continuation for dancers currently "en pointe", designed to continue to strengthen dancers and increase their ballet and pointe vocabulary. This class is taken in conjunction with Ballet "E".
The tap syllabus is based on Charles Kelly and Al Gilbert systems. It is also accented with some of the newest trends used in tap today. GET THOSE TOES TAPPING!
Jazz incorporates a multitude of styles and techniques. We teach traditional techniques from master teachers Gus Giordano, Luigi, and Cathy Roe. We also accent classes with the latest Hip-Hop and Street Jam. It is strongly recommended that all Jazz 2 students and above take a ballet class. We will use the latest really cool music and have a Hip-Hoppin, Jazz dancing great time.
This class rocks. feel the music , feel the beat, this up tempo class is available for several age groups and levels. We even have beginning teen classes (no dance experience required) as well as intermediate and advanced levels. Get your body moving!!!!
An excellent class for dancers age 10+ with prior jazz training who want to move into hip hop and "video" dance styles while remaining age appropriate both in dance and music selections.
