Students in this class learn dance through structured instruction and story time. Classical stories and fairytale costumes provide a unique environment for learning movement and elemental performing arts. Your child will learn that the ballet classroom is a special place. We use a variety of props, such as wands,scarves,fairy wings, puppy dogs,musical instruments to stimulate the students imaginations and spark creativity when dancing. Students will develop basic dance coordination and traditional ballet movement.

Lyrical is a form of dance that fuses modern, jazz, and ballet techniques and conveys with the emotion of a song's lyrics through the body's movements. In this class, students will focus on continuation of movement, connectivity to movement, and emotional connection to movements and flexibility. We recommend at least one year of ballet experience or taking this class in addition to ballet.
