Steps are broken down into easy to understand components and then practiced to perfection! The dances start off simple and increase in difficulty as the class progresses. Although some are more advanced, all dances are still low impact by design.

 Ballet for Princesses  June 9-August 4
 Ages 3-5
A Fairy Tale Princess Summer. Tip Toe, Twirl and Dance in a land full of Fairy Tales and Fantasy. This is a structured program designed for the early development of technical ballet and movement. It meets the needs and limitations of preschool age children by providing a carefully paced sequence of exercises to develop physical conditioning with poise and grace. Since children naturally respond to music and movement, the activities are presented through music. In the program, children will learn self-discipline, listening skills, coordination skills, left and right discrimination, patterns in movement and pre-ballet.
