Early Childhood & PRESCHOOL CLASSES (2.5-4 YEARS)

We’re famous for our unique, developmentally-aligned approach to early childhood and preschool education!

We are the founding studio of the Magnificent Movement™ curriculum and teaching method, which combines the highest standard of practices for teaching children ballet and modern technique, while simultaneously embracing creativity and individuality to provide a positive and fun environment.  These programs reinforce the motor, social, and cognitive development that is already naturally occurring in children while encouraging spatial, auditory, and sequential learning.

These creative, stimulating classes utilize only age-appropriate movement and music to combine principles of education and ballet, modern, and tap dance. Children learn about concepts of space, pattern, anatomy, rhythm, while building sequential memory, balance, and coordination. Parents love knowing that their kids are learning valuable skills for life, but kids only know they are having fun!

KINDERGARTEN and Foundational CLASSES (4.5-7 YEARS)

Our creative, stimulating kids’ classes utilize only age-appropriate movement and music to combine principles of education and ballet, modern, and tap dance. These skills, combined with children's natural development patterns, create an unforgettable and exciting movement class for children.In Kindergarten Dance, children learn about concepts of space, pattern, anatomy, rhythm, while building sequential memory, balance, and coordination. As students graduate into our Dance Foundations classes, they begin to explore a more traditional class style in preparation for our Elementary Leveled classes, while still practicing ballet, modern, and tap styles.

Elementary Leveled Classes (6-11 Years)

Our elementary dance classes are designed for students ages 6 & up of all skill levels seeking excellence in dance instruction.  The objective of these classes is to enrich the students while creating a fun, supportive learning environment in which to appreciate the art of dance and joy it provides.  Classes are free of intimidation and build self-confidence and body awareness. Foundational classes are designed to offer a variety of dance genres, terminology and concepts as students explore a more structured class format. Leveled classes offer a traditional class format and classes typically explore 1-2 dance styles, depending on the class.

Teens and Tweens Classes (11 years and up)

Our teen and tween classes utilize the solid foundation established in the younger classes and give motivated, intermediate-to-advanced level students the opportunity for increased training and growth.  Classes challenge the students with more complex skills, concepts, and combinations, expanding their creativity, individuality, body awareness, stamina, and strength.  Choices include ballet, modern, jazz, pointe, choreography, variations, and more.  The wide array of dance classes is designed to cultivate technique and artistry while still increasing self confidence, expression, and critical thinking.
