Parent & Me
Age 18 months – 2.5 years
Parent & Me is our fun-filled 30-minute dance class. Here, our next generation of budding dancers will be introduced to and guided through a variety of basic ballet movements, with the help of an accompanying adult (parent, guardian, grandparent, aunt, uncle, nanny, or caregiver). (Read More…)
Our magical props and carefully curated music playlists are sure to capture any little one’s imagination, while also fostering their love for song and dance. With a careful balance of learning and play, our themed classes provide toddlers with a safe environment to develop their social and motor skills, confidence, reflexes, and attention span, all while facilitating interactions with other children their age. These classes are also a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time together and make new friends. Parent and Me is the perfect stepping stone to introduce young ones to our studio and it paves the way for them to dance independently in our Tots on Tippy Toes classes later on. Registration is monthly as space allows.

Tots-on-Tippy-Toes
Age 3-4
Our Tots-on-Tippy-Toes classes are the perfect introduction to independent dance. Young dancers are taught to follow directions and execute a sequence of basic ballet movements appropriate for their age and development. (Read More…)
These will incorporate larger motor skills such as galloping, skipping, and marching. Through storytelling and make-believe, we also focus on further developing your little one’s rhythm, musicality, and coordination. From under the sea, to woodland creatures and fairy tales, our themed classes encourage creativity, self-expression, and confidence. Behind all the fun, students are also carefully prepared for a smooth transition into our Pre-Primary ballet classes. Here, they will be introduced to the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) ballet syllabus for the first time. Registration is monthly as space allows.

Storybook Ballet & Dance is a combination class designed for the capabilities, creativity and imagination of 3 and 4 year olds. It is the beginning of introducing a more structured class while incorporating Pre-Ballet, Creative Dance and Primary Tap. (Read More…)
In class we use many of their favourite songs and moves and it is the introduction of early dance steps and skills including skipping, galloping, hopping on one foot and two, improving gross motor co-ordination. In the Tap portion of the class students experience the sounds and rhythms of tap and learn basic tap steps, shuffles, shuffle step, boogie woogies, gallops and more. This class runs all year and requires pink ballet slippers and beige tap shoes. It’s the perfect class for 3 and 4 year olds to experience dance in it’s various forms.

Tap

Tap dance is a great way for dancers to develop their musicality, sense of rhythm, and style. Classes are upbeat and energetic, and focus on building individual dancers’ fundamentals as well as group precision. In no time students will be amazed with how fast their feet can fly!

Pre-Primary RAD Ballet

Pre-Primary ballet is the first level in the RAD syllabus designed for students in kindergarten. Ballet at this level is slightly more structured and formal compared to our Tots-on-Tippy-Toes classes. (Read More…)
Students are introduced to basic ballet positions and emphasis is placed on imagination-based learning. Short stories and themed movement sequences are used to help students grasp choreography. Props such as butterfly wings, scarves, feathers, and certain percussion instruments are also used. These 45-minute classes are a great starting point for students to further develop their listening skills, demonstrate movements with control and coordination, as well as perform basic steps with appropriate expression and spatial awareness. Pre-Primary RAD ballet provides a nurturing environment for students to grow in their artistry and musical appreciation.
