Toddler Combo (Ballet/Tap) - age 2-3
Bethany Meyferth
This class occurs at Fair Haven Day School for their toddler students.
This class is for little ones who are eager to begin dance classes and ready to learn independently. This class engages toddlers at their level to introduce them to concepts of dance in an inviting and encouraging manner. Similar to our Mommy and Me Pre-ballet curriculum in the beginning of the season, we use song stories to introduce movement concepts to young bodies that are still grasping basic motor skills. As we progress during the year, we will modify the course to mirror more of the preschool ballet/tap curriculum, learning all ballet positions, teaching combinations, and other basic ballet positions and movement skills. They will learn ballet positions, plies, tendus, ballet walks, passe, taps, stomps, ball change, shuffle and more.
Ages 2 - 3.5

Hip-hop/jazz fusion class provides concepts that cross both genres melding in a style that emulates what kids see on Disney channel, kids bop, and other mainstream dance media.

In this class, we teach basics such as pointing vs flexing in low kicks, step touch, ball change, grapevine, isolations, pas de bourre, chasse, turning concepts, basic floorwork, the differences in alignment and groove. We teach foundational jazz steps such as passe for pirhouettes as well as leaps and preparations for jumps. We teach foundational hip-hop steps such as the jack, top rock, wave, snake, coffee grinder, moonwalk, and more. Our main goal is to find the distinction between the hip-hop bounce and being upright in jazz.

We combine foundational hip-hop steps such as the jack, top rock, wave, snake, coffee grinder, moonwalk, into more intricate hip-hop dances such as the running man, reebok, smurf, etc. By the end of the year we will see more fluidity and clarity in the execution of both styles, our dancers will be put out of their comfort zone to find their rhythm, and we will see a growth in the ability to turn, jump, and memorize routines.

Toddler Pre-Ballet
Bethany Meyferth
This class is for little ones who are eager to begin dance classes and ready to learn independently. This class engages toddlers at their level to introduce them to concepts of dance in an inviting and encouraging manner. Similar to our Mommy and Me Pre-ballet curriculum in the beginning of the season, we use props and song stories to introduce movement concepts to young bodies that are still grasping basic motor skills. As we progress during the year, we will modify the course to mirror more of the preschool ballet curriculum, taking away place markers, learning all ballet positions, teaching combinations, and other basic ballet positions and movement skills.

Bethany Meyferth
This class is for little ones who are eager to begin dance classes and ready to learn independently. This class engages toddlers at their level to introduce them to concepts of dance in an inviting and encouraging manner. Similar to our Mommy and Me Pre-ballet curriculum in the beginning of the season, we use props and song stories to introduce movement concepts to young bodies that are still grasping basic motor skills. As we progress during the year, we will modify the course to mirror more of the preschool ballet curriculum, taking away place markers, learning all ballet positions, teaching combinations, and other basic ballet positions and movement skills.

Pre-Pro Contemporary (ages 16-18)
Quimen Sanchez
This class is for students that have mastered advanced contemporary (~6 years or 3 years prior contemporary experience with a strong dance background in ballet/jazz/modern and are already able to execute multiple turns, leaps, and perform intricate floor work, tilts and falls). Modern, ballet, and jazz fuse in this style that uses breathwork and emotion to lead the movement. Our Pre-Pro classes focus more on the performance quality of a student's advanced skillset. Students will continue to learn new steps and choreography with a bigger emphasis on improvisation, gesture based storytelling, and partner work at this level. Students will explore the use of floor inversions, lifts, counterbalance with partners, backtilts and spirals, fragmentation, and other skills as transitions into other steps. Much of contemporary is not categorized by named steps, rather it is the fusion of all steps through isolations, weight shift, moments of stillness, using the space and floor and other dancers to compose an experience of motion in time and space.
This class is intended for those seeking performance opportunities.

Beginning Ballet (2nd-5th grade)
Lauren Brandon
This class is only for students who attend Woodview Elementary School.
This class is perfect for the young dancer who has had some to no previous exposure to ballet. We will learn the basic positions, alignment, ballet etiquette, and formations. Students will learn the ballet positions, basic movements like passe and arabesque, tendu, degage, etc. By learning how to place their weight (balance and standing on the supporting leg) when we are dancing, it will assist with the concept of turning via chainé's and 3-step turns. By the end of Ballet 1, students will be ready to learn pirouette basics. This class will start to conceptualize leaps and start building a foundation for ballet jumps. We begin with soutés and echappés and our goal is to begin to learn jetes and glissade. Dancers will build muscle memory for transitions between sequenced steps. Students will learn dance combinations throughout the year which will improve their memorization and chronological ordering skills. Students will work with others in their class to artfully present movement in different formations using their spatial awareness of themselves and others.
