At Salem County Dance and Cheer we believe in teaching safety and proper technique to develop each student’s strength and flexibility before teaching more advanced tumbles. Students will learn a variety of skills using safety certified equipment including mats, trampoline, balance beam and inclines used to teach more advanced skills. Our instructors work with each student individually to improve his/her skills so your child is guaranteed to advance with our program.

Basic ballet, tap, jazz and gymnastics terminology will be introduced along with proper techniques that can be performed by the young students. A more structured class environment is introduced while learning self-discipline to enhance performance skills. Creative movement props are used to stimulate imagination and students learn basic tumbling skills including rolls, cartwheels, and handstands to improve strength and flexibility.

Ballet, tap, and gymnastics techniques will be introduced while stimulating imagination by using props, stories, videos, songs and “dress-up” parties. Students will learn how to use movement as a form of self-expression and improve fine and gross motor skills. These young students will learn through imitation and repetition giving a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Great for cheerleaders wanting to learn the back handspring for cheerleading try-outs! At SCDC we offer private lessons so students can have one-on-one instruction to ensure they learn a specific skill of their choice in a short amount of time.
