Mommy & Me – Pre Ballet class but Mommy gets to have fun too!
Pre Ballet (Creative Movement) - Focused on furthering the development of loco motor skills, (skipping, leaping, galloping, jumping, etc.), and introducing ballet-based dance fundamentals, this class is perfect for the young mover. Students are introduced to dance elements, such as level, direction, and shape. They practice self-control as they follow directions, take turns, and practice following and being the leader. This is a 30-minute class.
Acrobatics (Age 3) - Acrobatic movements are combined with dance steps as students learn the fundamentals of movement and timing with tumbling. This class focuses on floor gymnastic tricks, flexibility and upper-body strength. The classes will include forward rolls, cartwheels, and advances to aerials and back tucks. These skills transfer easily to such activities as cheerleading and gymnastics
Dress Code:
Girls: For Ballet, all girls must wear tights (preferably pink), pink ballet shoes, a solid colored leotard (black or pink is preferred and hair should be neatly secured in a bun (no ponytails). ONLY tights and ballet skirts should be worn for ballet.
Guys: All dance classes require jazz or sweat pants and a shirt that is form fitting.
The leotards, tights, shoes, and buns associated with ballet and dance all serve multiple practical and aesthetic purposes and ensures that the dancer’s hair will not be in her line of vision and impede her while spotting turns. It also creates a line by making the neck look longer. Leotards give the teacher a better view of the dancer’s muscles and body; while offering coverage while raising legs high in the air. In other words, there is a reason that we require certain types of dancewear so be sure that your child attends class in appropriate dance attire, shoes, and hair.
Students should arrive dressed according to the dress code and with all necessary hair accessories and shoes in the dance bag. All shoes should have the child’s name written in them. The staff assumes no responsibility for lost, stolen, or misplaced items.
