Foundations Program
(Ages 5-6)
Our Foundations Program introduces dancers to structured learning while keeping classes engaging and fun. Dancers may choose a recreational pathway or begin more focused skill-building.
Start Anywhere: Children can join any Foundations class at the appropriate age without prior experience.
Build Confidence: Classes focus on fundamental movement, coordination, and rhythm while keeping learning fun and non-intimidating.
Explore & Grow: While the program encourages skill development, the emphasis is on enjoyment, creativity, and fostering a love of dance.
Flexible Participation: Perfect for families who balance dance with other activities—each class stands alone but also builds the foundation for more advanced combo and multi-genre training in later years.
Ballet/Tap Combo 1
Ages 5 - 6 yrs

With longer class time and increased focus, dancers gain independence and confidence while exploring the artistry of ballet and the upbeat energy of tap. This exciting combination class sets the stage for future success as they progress in their dance journey.
