The Creative Movement program is for our younger students. This new dance class option is perfect for young students who are looking for the next step after Creative Movement and before Modern and/or Ballet classes.
Foundations in Dance is an introduction to classroom etiquette and learning the dance basics that are the backbone to every other dance technique. Foundations introduces more structure for maturing students, the expectation of classical dance exercises in class, and simple ballet & modern variations to familiarize students with focused class structure and progression.
