Season starts August 11, 2025
Elementary Level classes consist of Ballet and Jazz. These classes are required, and are an essential part of a well-rounded dance education. Each class provides dancers with fundamental training, helping them to grow and thrive in the evolving world of dance.
All of our class levels are curriculum-based. Students must participate in every class assigned to their level in order to hold their spot, and meet the requirements to advance into the next level.
Students will begin to move into a more structured environment. Along with studying beginning techniques of Ballet and Modern, dancers are expected to study and memorize French Ballet terminology. Students will also be introduced to dance theory and methodology including; but not limited to somatic's, conditioning, musicality, and the creative process.
Dancers should expect to stay at least 1-2 years in each level.
