BALLET – Engage in specifically designed music that captures the beauty of classical ballet.
HIP HOP – Bust out some ice cold moves just like Freeze to our original hip hop tracks.
TAP – Learn the fundamentals of tap in a playful and creative way, splashing in puddles and shuffling like a penguin.

Dancers will learn the foundation steps and terminology in both styles of dance. The use of fun, age appropriate music engages the young dancers’ minds and bodies. The use of props such as hula hoops, ribbons, tambourines, etc. make the end of class the most fun!
