Explorations
Movement experiences are an important part of the developmental process. Explorations classes include play-acting, creative movement, rhythm skills, and an introduction to basic dance technique and terminology. These classes provide a safe and fun environment for exploring movement.
The Combo class combines exploration skills with an introduction to tap technique.
Pre-ballet and pre-jazz classes are more structured classes aimed at easing the transition to the technique levels.
