Princess Ballet -- Our Primary goal is to foster
a love of ballet and movement. The creative component is quite large. Each class is taught with a different princess in mind.
Dancers are taught all ballet vocabulary, and many steps to 1st year Ballet.
Pre Pointe'--
Students in pre pointe' should have at least 4 years of dance experience. These dancers are required to take ballet 2 times
a week in addition to their pre pointe' class. Most students start taking pre-points' around age 9 or 10 so they are
ready for pointe' work at age 11 or 12.
Pointe'-- Students in pointe' have successfully
completed 4 years of ballet and 1 year of pre pointe'. These dancers are required to take ballet 2 to 3 times a week in addition
to their pointe' class.
Ballet - We teach Ceccitti Ballet at The Academy of Dance and Music.
Students range from pre ballet to professional. Our teachers will place a student in the appropriate level of dance that
is based on the 12 Levels of ballet. Each level is represented by a different color. Our Ballet classes are set by age and
by level. Students must pass an examination to proceed to the next level.
Jazz - Hip Hop - Jazz dance is what you see in many Broadway
"type" shows such as "Cat's". It is a more structured stage style of dance. Hip Hop is a fast high energy
type of dance seen in music videos and some commercials. Dancers are placed in levels according to experience and age.
Tap - Tap requires a great deal of coordination and can be a challenging style of dance. Tap
is included in combination classes at the age of 4. Dancers can take a more advanced tap class at the age of 9.
