Toddler Ballet
This fun class geared for children aged 2 meets once a week for 30 minutes at our Bexley Location. Your child will learn the fundamentals of dance, listen to music, use their imagination and learn how to work with others all while learning and playing!
Class option:
Saturday 9:30-10:00am
Creative Movement
Our Creative Movement classes are introductory dance classes for children aged 3 to 4. These classes bring children into a child-centered environment for movement. They are introduced to basic movement concepts and how to orient themselves in a dance class. They also participate in self-generated movement as well as beginning to learn basic ballet vocabulary.
Class option:
Saturday 10:00-10:45am
Pre Ballet
Pre-Ballet retains the developmental aspect of self-generated movement and the use of imagination to learn basic dance concepts. This course, for children aged 5 to 6, also moves past the Creative Movement curriculum to initiate fundamental ballet principals. Basic positions and facings are introduced from a movement-based perspective.
Class option:
Saturday 10:45-11:45am
Ballet I
Ballet I begins the ballet sequence of the curriculum. Basic barre work, proper placement, ballet etiquette, center combinations of allegro (jumping) patterns and simple series of patterned steps and vocabulary are introduced. This class has the option to meet once or twice a week, both at the Bexley Location.
Class option:
Saturday 11:45-1:00pm
Ballet II/III
Ballet II/III begins to mirror the training principals of the Intensive Training Program by focusing on broader ballet vocabulary while also introducing students to work in other dance forms (Jazz Dance). Ballet II/III can serve as an entry level class for the School if a student has prior dance experience or is older than the recommended age for the course. This class meets twice a week.
Class option:
Saturday 1:00-2:30pm
