We do a combination of pre-ballet steps, pre-jazz skills, plus stretching and a bit of acro in the end. Props, games and imaginative movements are still used to stimulate a passion and love for movement!
Let’s Dance (ages 3-4)
In this class, your child will be learning and building on pre-ballet, pre-jazz and acro skills from the previous level, but are now also introduced to activities that promote and require spatial awareness, balance, muscular control, creativity and imagination – including games and use of props.

This combo class is a great transition for those students who are unsure of which discipline to take, or who are just starting classes for the first time. Your child will be introduced to their first steps in ballet, jazz and acro in a fun, energetic and exciting way!
