PRE-BALLET AND TAP I
Ages: 3-5

This class is a one hour class divided into two parts. The first half hour is devoted to pre–ballet, which is an introduction and beginning of classical ballet training, creative movement, coordination, rhythm, and elementary ballet terminology. The emphasis of these first classes is to make students aware of their bodies, understanding music, work in groups, and eventually to put designated movements to music and form dances. Emphasis on grace, poise, coordination, and discipline are considered important. The goal of this class is learning to move in a fun and controlled environment.
