All dances are taught during a six-week session to ensure each student is confident with the material. Students will learn a new combination each week and by the end of the session will lead their partner through an entire song. Intermediate steps will also be introduced in each session.

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.

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.

The Dance Leveled Program is designed for students who are interested in recreational dance as an extra-curricular activity. The program offers classes in ballet, lyrical, jazz, hip hop, and tap for beginner thru advanced dancers. All classes will perform a choreographed routine in our annual dance recital held at Salem High School in June.
