Toddler Combo (Ballet/Tap) - age 2-3
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.

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.

Beginning Hip-Hop (age 8-12)
This class is perfect for boys and girls alike. No prior dance experience is needed. Foundational styles of hip-hop with an emphasis on house, b-boy, and break dancing are taught in this class. Students will learn how to find their personal groove, timing, and discover new ways to move their bodies in relation to the floor, space, and other dancers. Students will build strength and endurance as they have fun dancing to hip-hop (age appropriate) music. Steps such as bounce, running man, salsa step, cabbage patch, rock, jack, top rock, and much more will be taught. Students will begin to learn to move to the rhythm of the music and initiate movement based on that “groove” regardless of the step. Students will learn basic breakdancing skills such as the five step. We introduce improvisational skills and encourage students to be comfortable being uncomfortable while they are learning how to use their bodies. 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.

This class is perfect for teens with no previous dance experience. Foundational styles of hip-hop with an emphasis on house, b-boy, and break dancing are taught in this class. Students will learn how to find their personal groove, timing, and discover new ways to move their bodies in relation to the floor, space, and other dancers. Students will build strength and endurance as they have fun dancing to hip-hop (age appropriate) music. Steps such as bounce, running man, salsa step, cabbage patch, rock, jack, top rock, and much more will be taught. Students will begin to learn to move to the rhythm of the music and initiate movement based on that “groove” regardless of the step. Students will learn basic breakdancing skills such as the five step. We introduce improvisational skills and encourage students to be comfortable being uncomfortable while they are learning how to use their bodies. 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.

Students will learn basic breakdancing skills such as the five step. We introduce improvisational skills and encourage students to be comfortable being uncomfortable while they are learning how to use their bodies. 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.

Jazz is the predecessor for hip-hop and you will see similar steps in both genres, however, the execution and style varies. 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.

Beginning Hip-Hop (age 8-12)
This class is perfect for boys and girls alike. No prior dance experience is needed. Foundational styles of hip-hop with an emphasis on house, b-boy, and break dancing are taught in this class. Students will learn how to find their personal groove, timing, and discover new ways to move their bodies in relation to the floor, space, and other dancers. Students will build strength and endurance as they have fun dancing to hip-hop (age appropriate) music. Steps such as bounce, running man, salsa step, cabbage patch, rock, jack, top rock, and much more will be taught. Students will begin to learn to move to the rhythm of the music and initiate movement based on that “groove” regardless of the step. Students will learn basic breakdancing skills such as the five step. We introduce improvisational skills and encourage students to be comfortable being uncomfortable while they are learning how to use their bodies. 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.

Students will learn how to find their personal groove, timing, and discover new ways to move their bodies in relation to the floor, space, and other dancers. Students will build strength and endurance as they have fun dancing to hip-hop (age appropriate) music. Steps such as bounce, running man, salsa step, cabbage patch, rock, jack, top rock, and much more will be taught. Students will begin to learn to move to the rhythm of the music and initiate movement based on that “groove” regardless of the step. Students will learn basic breakdancing skills such as the five step. We introduce improvisational skills and encourage students to be comfortable being uncomfortable while they are learning how to use their bodies. 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.

Students will work with others in their class to artfully present movement in different formations using their spatial awareness of themselves and others.
This class is intended for teens who have had some to no previous exposure to jazz dance. It is recommended that dancers also take ballet or have had previous exposure to ballet since ballet is the foundation of jazz. Dancers will learn how to use their ballet movements in a parallel manner and stylize them to modern rhythms and sounds. Jazz hands, jazz squares, jazz slide, jazz walks, chasses, passe, leap, kick ball change, 3-step turn and chainés are just a few of the classic movements that we will teach dancers at this level. Dancers will build muscle memory for transitions between sequenced steps.

Beginning Hip-Hop/Jazz 1 (age 5-8)
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. Jazz is the predecessor for hip-hop and you will see similar steps in both genres, however, the execution and style varies. 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.

This class is perfect for boys and girls alike. No prior dance experience is needed. Foundational styles of hip-hop with an emphasis on house, b-boy, and break dancing are taught in this class. Students will learn how to find their personal groove, timing, and discover new ways to move their bodies in relation to the floor, space, and other dancers. Students will build strength and endurance as they have fun dancing to hip-hop (age appropriate) music. Steps such as bounce, running man, salsa step, cabbage patch, rock, jack, top rock, and much more will be taught. Students will begin to learn to move to the rhythm of the music and initiate movement based on that “groove” regardless of the step. Students will learn basic breakdancing skills such as the five step. We introduce improvisational skills and encourage students to be comfortable being uncomfortable while they are learning how to use their bodies. 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.

This class is intended for teens who have had previous exposure to jazz dance. Dancers will continue to practice executing their steps with energy, dynamics, and sharpness of quality. We will incorporate the classic jazz steps into longer progressions, adding new steps such as drag turns, stag leaps, pique attitude, hitch kick, and more. We will continue working on pirouettes, and working towards multiple turns. We will teach combinations with various tempos and more intricate movements. Dancers will be focused on keeping time to the music themselves. Dancers will continue to build muscle memory for new steps and new transitions. 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.

Toddler Pre-Ballet
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.

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.

We work with your individual level within the given instruction to modify accordingly.

Beginning Hip-Hop (age 5-8)
This class is perfect for boys and girls alike. No prior dance experience is needed. Foundational styles of hip-hop with an emphasis on house, b-boy, and break dancing are taught in this class. Students will learn how to find their personal groove, timing, and discover new ways to move their bodies in relation to the floor, space, and other dancers. Students will build strength and endurance as they have fun dancing to hip-hop (age appropriate) music. Steps such as bounce, running man, salsa step, cabbage patch, rock, jack, top rock, and much more will be taught. Students will begin to learn to move to the rhythm of the music and initiate movement based on that “groove” regardless of the step. Students will learn basic breakdancing skills such as the five step. We introduce improvisational skills and encourage students to be comfortable being uncomfortable while they are learning how to use their bodies. 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.

Beginning Hip-Hop/Jazz 1 (age 5-8)
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. Jazz is the predecessor for hip-hop and you will see similar steps in both genres, however, the execution and style varies. 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.
