Parents or caregivers actively participate in our Parent and Tot classes with their child. Students learn basic dance steps and terminology through songs, stories, and imaginative play. Parent and Tot classes focus on ballet and beginning acro. Students will work on acro skills such as log rolls, forward rolls, wheelbarrows, etc. They will develop core strength and gross motor skills necessary for more difficult skills as they get older. Parent and Tot classes are a great stepping stone to our 3-4 year old classes, where they will participate without a parent.
Parent and Tot classes provide a wonderful way for you to bond with your child. They can also be a great opportunity for parents and students to make new friends or you can invite your friends or playgroup to enroll in the same class with you!

Our preschool dance classes include preballet, tap and beginning acro skills! Our youngest dancers will develop rhythm and musicality through tap. They will learn the basics of ballet while developing their gross motor skills, balance, and grace. Finally, they will work through the primary level of the Acrobatic Arts syllabus to gain strength and flexibility that will help them in all future dance endeavors – ballet, tap, jazz, and advanced acro! Start your young dancer off right with a balance of strength, musicality, and poise in our TTT classes!

This one hour combo class focuses on basic dance technique for hip hop and acro.
Hip hop is a popular style of dance that began in urban areas and can now be seen in music videos, commercials, television, and Broadway musicals. Through the study of hip hop, students will learn coordination, strength, agility and endurance. Age appropriate music and choreography are used in all hip hop classes.
Acro Dance is different from typical gymnastics and tumbling classes. It is the seamless fusion of dance and acrobatic skills. The techniques taught help students to perform the skills safely on a hard floor (dance or stage floor) and to allow seamless flow from an acrobatic move into dance moves during choreography. It also helps to develop strong and well rounded dancers.
