Children’s Division

Ages 3 - 8

The Children’s Division is an introduction to the journey of dance training. The classes foster artistic curiosity and a love of the art form. Focusing on motor skills at an early age, classes incorporate musicality, coordination, creativity, flexibility and strength. As training progresses, classes become more structured and elements of ballet vocabulary and terminology are added. The carefully curated syllabus lays the technical foundation for progression into the Student Division.

We believe in cultivating a safe and trusting environment that endorses confidence and positivity to develop individuals that thrive both in and out of the studio.
