New Classes in Winter 2020

We are still currently taking registrations for some of our 2019-20 classes and if a child registers in January we should be able to get a costume for our recital in May!

We also have some new classes beginning in January. See info below!

Calling boys and girls

ages 18 months-3!

Our WEE Dance is a fun and creative class for Mommy (or Daddy/caregiver) and a tot. It is designed to help aid in the wonderful development of skills appropriate for a 2-3 year old. For this reason our class uses a parent or caregiver to help us orient the child into a classroom setting encouraging the development of fine and gross motor skills. These skills are developed through the use of music, dance, and constant support of those who love them. Along with assisting in the development of motor skills in the children we incorporate sharing, taking turns, and following directions. These aspects all lead to the development of socialization and additional necessary skills of listening and following directions to give them a great start before or while they begin preschool.

Calling Adults!

INCREASE YOUR STRENGTH & ENDURANCE. IMPROVE YOUR BALANCE, COORDINATION & FLEXIBILITY!

All Ability Levels Welcome!

Leotards are not required but attire should be fitted to help with proper alignment. Ballet slippers preferred.

Snow Days

The studio will not necessarily close for snow/bad weather days regardless if area schools are closed.

Closings will be sent out via email within one hour of the scheduled class and posted on our Facebook & Instagram accounts. Often we may open for the day and then decide to close if the weather becomes worse.

Everyone is entitled to a makeup class if we close the studio due to the weather. It is encouraged to be made up but not required. Make ups can be in one level below, one level above or dancers are welcome to even try a new style!

Friendly Reminders

*HIP HOP & POM DANCERS*

PLEASE DO NOT WEAR SHOES that have been worn outside into our dance rooms. Sneakers for dancers should not be worn outside~especially since the salt from snow days can be brought onto our floors and make them very slippery for other dancers. Please pack a bag and change your shoes before you enter the dance room.

*HOOFING/RHYTHM DANCERS*

Hair is to be in a bun for class just like ballet!!

*POINTE/BALLET DANCERS*

Only form fitted ballet sweaters will be permitted to be worn in class so that we can continue offer the highest standards of education based on proper technique. This cannot be done when dancers wear baggie clothes. Black ballet sweater tights are now permitted over the pink tights in Mr Jerzy's classes.

Parent Observation & Appreciation Week!!

Come see what your child's classroom experience is like! Bring your cameras (and maybe even your dancing shoes!) and join us January 25th-30th for a fun filled Parent Appreciation Week!!
