Developmental Program

In our Developmental Program, children and teens will focus on developing safe and adequate dance technique, while experiencing a fun, enthusiastic and supportive environment. We believe that giving dancers equal training and opportunity fosters a love and understanding of dance. In our Developmental Program, students learn technique, terminology, performance, choreography and everything else that dance provides.

All of our Developmental Program classes run from September to June and we welcome new students to join in the fun at any time. We end our dance year with a
 recital performance on stage where all of our Developmental Program students perform for family and friends! 

Acro -- 5+yrs
This class is all about contortion, balance and tricks! If your child loves to roll around, flip around and be upside down, this is definitely the class for them! 
​

Aerial Hoop -- 10+yrs: This class develops strength and balance, while hanging from a hoop apparatus. This class is perfect for the child who dreams of the circus!! Acro is mandatory for this class.

This class allows students to explore their individual dance style outside of the structure of traditional ballet and jazz classes.
