YOUNG DANCER PROGRAM
YOUNG DANCER PROGRAM | AGES 3 - 6
Explore the magical world of dance through stories, music & movement!
Designed for children ages 3 - 6, the sessions of our Young Dancer Program inspire young ones to express themselves through movement and music. Vibrant classical music, magical stories and twirling awaits!
Offered as Fall, Spring, and Summer sessions, these programs can be attended independently of one another or one after the other throughout the calendar year.
CREATIVE MOVEMENT
Ages 3 - 4
Leap like a frog, tiptoe like a butterfly, gallop like a unicorn! Here, dancers are introduced to rhythm and movement through creative games rooted in basic ballet techniques. Each class will build upon coordination, listening skills, and social connection all while bringing well-known children’s stories to life through dance and imaginative play.
Each session is 6 or 10 weeks in length and ends with a recital. Tuition prices include performance fee and four tickets for the recital.
Dancers must be able to use the bathroom without any assistance.
Attire Options:
Any clothing your child will feel comfortable moving in (for example: leotard and tights, leggings and a leotard or fitted tee shirt), ballet shoes, hair should be pulled away from the face (does not need to be in a bun necessarily.)

what’s next?
Beginning Ballet
ages 6 - 7
In this class, dancers begin exploring the fundamentals of ballet technique and have an opportunity to perform twice each season with the professional Company Artists of Ballet Co.Laboratory. Dancers will learn the basic stance and placement for ballet technique and start to translate this into exercises at the barre, center, and across the floor. This class focuses on the connection of music and movement. 1 hour per week, repertoire outside of class time.
