DANCE CURRICULUM

This program educates dancers in multiple disciplines with an emphasis on proper technique and an appreciation of the art. Our youngest dancers begin by exploring movement, rhythm, spatial awareness and building their own creativity. These concepts create a foundation that we can continue to nurture as dancers grow through the program. Through the years, dancers will be introduced to discipline specific
terminology, body placement and movement that is appropriately challenging for their level. All dancers will be given the opportunity to show off their development at a yearend performance for family and friends. 

An additional part of every dancer’s curriculum is gaining appreciation of the art through understanding the history, experiencing the art as a spectator and eventually even becoming a part of the creative process through self-expression. There are many in-class experiences that help to facilitate this understanding, but we also provide several extra-curricular enrichment opportunities, like our
semi-annual Night at the Theatre, that dancers and even their families can take advantage of.
