Our one of a kind Prep Dance Program
Our very own Prep Dance Program for the tiniest of dancers has proven to produce fantastic results over the years. As young as 3 and 4 year old students of the program are able to perform independently, without older students guiding them. Students are introduced to learning without parent support in a group under the guidance of a teacher. The playful approach of this 3 year program develops many vital skills for child's future, such as coordination, motor skills, balance, musicality, rhythm, concentration, following instruction and vital social skills. On completion of this program, students graduate with excellent foundations and are confident to start ballet or any other style of dance as part of the next level program.
Class styles
It is important for young dancer's development to be exposed to a variety of dance styles from early on. That's why we offer separate styles of classes for students from as young as 3 years of age. Not only it helps for younger dancer to discover that they enjoy most and later choose whether they'd prefer the classical or the modern routine, or both. But, it also helps immensely in developing coordination, learning to feel the body in movement and musicality.
Ballet
Ballet based classes provide a creative introduction to movement and the very basics of dance. These fun and energetic classes are designed to encourage creativity and develop imagination. Last year of the program provides a more structured class offering a basic introduction to ballet technique setting a solid foundation for any style of dance student chooses to be engaged in after completion of this program. It is recommended students enrol in 2 ballet classes per week.
Jazz, Musical Theatre, Hip-Hop and Acrobatics
Much like in a regular school where children study a variety of subjects, Prep Dance Program also offers the very foundation skills in styles of Jazz, Musical Theatre, Hip-Hop and Acrobatics for Prep Level students. This means that by the time children graduate from Prep Program, they will have the necessary complete set of foundational skills to continue on learning dance within a structured syllabus. This is vital for little dancers' future practice and confidence. Students are recommended to enrol in at least 1 of the other style classes in addition to their 2 Ballet classes.
