Giggles & Wiggles, Creative Dance (Ballet or Tap)

for age 2.5 - 6 years

For ages 2.5 - 6 years old., Creative Dance is a magical experience for little ones involving either classical ballet or classical ballet and tap, depending on the class chosen. This class is playful yet structured and taught by patient, nurturing instructors. Using fun props and our most creative imaginations, we jump, twirl, and leap our way toward more developed coordination, greater confidence, better balance, stronger leadership skills, improved counting skills, and more. We learn basic classroom skills, such as following directions, taking turns, working well with others, forming a line, etc. Parents are invited to observe each class through our "Magic Mirror" (one-way glass in our observation room), so that the children may dance inside our ballet studio without distraction...:)

Contemporary & Modern Dance for Ballet 2 and up

We offer a Contemporary and Modern dance class to enhance our dancer's training and dance experience.  In this class, we will explore many various styles of movement, all of which are building upon our ballet foundation. Having this solid foundation in place before attempting Contemporary or Modern training assures that all students have developed a solid foundation and proper carriage and control of the body.

Ballet 2 and Up

For children ages 5 and up, our classes follow a creatively structured classical ballet syllabus, following traditional ballet barre and center exercises, appropriate to the age being taught. Our syllabus is designed to create a solid ballet foundation, developing grace, elegance in line, balance, strength and flexibility, as well as musicality and the ability to express oneself onstage through movement. Our progressive syllabus assures that one level leads into another for both challenge and achievement!
Pointe work will be assessed for each dancer individually
and explored when a dancer reaches a sufficient level of strength and maturity. This usually takes place around
the age of 11 or 12, after a dancer has been studying
3 or more days a week for several years. Boys scholarships are often available for ages 7 and up.
