Our yougest dancers are very special to us and we want their first experience with dance to be  positive and light.  They are free to sign up quarterly without feeling behind if they miss a quarter. Studio performances are held on the last day of each quarter. Classes focus primarily on Ballet movements. Basic acrobatics, rhythm, and jazz moves may also be included.

Ages 4-5 Dance Combo I
This is a 45 minute combination Ballet/Jazz class which occasionally touches on acrobatics.  The main objective is to introduce students to some basic ballet/jazz terminology and technique. Students who have danced previously will have the opportunity to expand on their knowledge of basic fundamentals while developing leadership skills toward incoming students who are new to dance. Proper classroom etiquette will be stressed while expanding on the students'  love of music and movement.  This class will perform one dance in the spring performance.

Ages 6-7 Dance Combo II
This is a 60 minute combination Ballet/Jazz/Tap class. 2 styles will be worked on each week. There will be even rotations of Ballet, Jazz & Tap. Students who have danced previously will have the opportunity to expand on their knowledge of dance while developing leadership skills toward incoming students who are new to dance. Proper classroom etiquette will be stressed while expanding on the students'  love of music and movement.This class will perform one dance in the Spring performance.

No girls allowed…just us guys! (except for Miss Marin of course)This class is designed just for boys.  Special teaching techniques and styles will be taught specifically for them.  Our objective is to get more guys interested in dance, to introduce them to a few of the world's coolest male dancers and do away with the stereotypes of dance being only for girls.  The main focus will be on hip hop and jazz.
