Instructor is Becky Booth
This class is a combined 3 and 4 year old class. Beginning ballet with barre and center floor work are a main component of this class. Creative Movement and Independent dancing are another focus. As well– basic tumbling skills will be taught. Instructors will take about 10 minutes a day to teach basic rolls and body orientation skills like log rolls and bucking/rocking horses! Students will learn one ballet dance to perform in the spring recital. Students are taught in a firm but loving atmosphere, and really grow into strong, confident dancers! Our instructor excels at creating a safe and inviting class that helps students grow in confidence. Students must be completely potty trained to be in this class. No pull-ups are allowed.
This class meets for 45 minutes. After the first week of orientation– parents will be asked to be ready to pick up their students after 30 minutes. When the majority of the class starts to ask questions like “Are we done yet”, “How much longer” – we conclude dance for the day.
We feel like it is better to have the students be on task for 35 or 40 minutes than to drag out the last 5-10 minutes with unhappy students. It usually only takes about 1-4 weeks for the students in class to be ready to stay the entire 45 minutes! This class only requires one shoe – a white leather ballet shoe. Tuition is $57/month
