Pre-Primary Ballet is a fun introduction to ballet technique. Students are encouraged to learn and refine many new skills through the use of props and their imagination. It is a structured class that teaches barre , centre practice and travelling exercises. Children should also begin to develop physical discipline, general body awareness, body alignment, basic feet and arm positions and control and coordination of the entire body. Students at this level are also able to participate in a R.A.D Pre-Primary Assessment.
Pre-Primary Jazz/Tap is an energetic combination class that includes stretching, cardiovascular warm-up, basic body isolations and coordination exercises using upbeat and popular music. This class also introduces the children to Tap technique using basic tap steps and slightly slower music so the children can develop a sense of rhythm and learn to count music while dancing to it at the same time.
