Programs for Kindergarten & First Grade

Ages 5-7

Our Pre-Level programs are fun-filled classes for young school-age children. The classes are more structured and age appropriate technique is taught while maintaining play through songs and games.

Programs for Kindergarten & First Grade: Classes

PRE-BALLET

45 minute weekly class        1 recital dance

Pre-Ballet is a program for our kindergarten and first graders who are 5-7 years old. The music for this class is fun and familiar to them and expands on the techniques learned by our younger classes. We do some warming up, stretching, progressions across the room (including skips, kicks and basic turning skills) all while learning correct terminology and musicality.

PRE-JAZZ/TAP

45 minute weekly class        1 recital dance

Students in Pre-Jazz/Tap are introduced to the beginning fundamentals of Broadway-style jazz and tap in this 2 year program. In jazz, we explore the concepts of isolation, opposition and using the upper and lower body in unison. Tap work focuses on rhythm development and musicality while learning how to use the 2 parts of the tap shoe independently. The recital dance alternates between jazz and tap each year.   A ballet class is highly recommended in conjunction with Pre-Jazz/Tap.
