Mom & Tot Ballet: our mom & tot ballet class is for toddlers, 18 months to 3 years, and
their participating parent. Classes meet once per week  for 30 minutes and practice
stretches, scales and movements with the assistance of their parent. Movement to music
will allow each child to express herself freely and develop dance skills and strength.
Preschool Ballet: our preschool ballet classes are for little dancers who are 4 to 6
years old and practice for 45 minutes, once per week. Our class is designed to teach
elements of dance, movement, and body awareness. Students will learn proper body
alignments, feet position, graceful arm movements, and galloping movements while
moving to music.  Dancers will learn to "listen" to the music and it's tempo. They will move
quickly or slowly depending on the quickness of the beat. The ballet barre will be used to
develop flexibility and proper leg alignment when performing scales, and the arabesque'.
Beginner Ballet: our beginner ballet class is for dancers who are 7 to 10 years old and
can practice for 45 minutes, once per week.  Structured similar to our preschool ballet
class, this class will focus on correct postures, leg and feet positions, arm and shoulder
alignment, and flexibility. Our beginner students will begin to connect positions to form
dance style steps that can flow to music. Gallops, hops, leaps and turns will be taught each
class duration. The ballet barre will be utilized in this class to teach proper lower body
positions using the hips, legs, and feet.
