CLASS DESCRIPTIONS AND SCHEDULE
DANCE IMAGINATION
ages 3-5
A welcoming introduction to dance class. Parents may initially participate with shy kids as they warm up to the class environment. Dancers learn dance basics, such as plies, chasses, and skips, in the midst of games and imaginative play. We work on listening skills, music responsiveness, coordination, and furthering physical development. A leotard and ballet shoes are recommended, but nonrestrictive clothes and bare feet or nonskid socks are fine.
Mondays 10:00-10:55am (Renee)
Mondays 5:00-5:55pm (Meredith)

Saturday 10:00-10:55am (Abbie)
PRE-BALLET
ages 4-6
An introductory class for kids who are comfortable in a dance or class setting. As we introduce ballet techniques, the kids will practice in fun creative ways while gaining balance, control, flexibility, and rhythm. Phrase work helps students put dance into action!
