PreK - 2nd Ballet Methods/Rhythm (Ages 4-7)
Classical ballet is at the heart of all our technical practices. This level introduces and builds on classical positions and fundamental ideas. Our classes begin seated working through body lines and positions, we will incorporate barre and center work along with developmentally appropriate progressions across the floor. Dancers will focus on proper body alignment, posture, and basic ballet vocabulary. Rhythm class is geared toward young dancers and takes a strategic, age-appropriate approach to bridging the gap from ballet to genres like jazz, hip hop, tap, etc. This class will incorporate rhythmic phrases to upbeat music. At the class’s pace, dancers will begin learning how to count music, retain simple choreography, as well as practice how to dance in unison with a group in and out of formations.
