3 Year Olds~
Three year olds are at just the right age to begin their dance
training. At DANCE TIME, they begin by learning ballet
basics in pre-ballet. They learn positions of the feet, skipping,
and other natural movements. In addition, they learn how to
participate in a class and how to get along with other children. The
children always enjoy participating in their first recital.
4 - 5 Year Olds & 5 - 6 Year Olds~
Learning to dance is great exercise for the body and the brain. This
is the time to start building the proper foundation for all types of
dance training. A combination ballet and tap class provides a solid
foundation and is at the same time an enjoyable experience for
children. They learn basic dance steps, proper positions of the arms
and feet as well as the terminology that describes these movements.
Participating in DANCE TIME's recital at the end of
the year adds a huge highlight to their training and motivates them
to continue their training the following fall.
6,7, & 8 Year Olds~
For beginning students in this age category, DANCE TIME
prefers they start with a combination Ballet and Tap class. Students
who have had at least one year of Ballet and Tap may be eligible to
add a half hour of Jazz to the ballet & tap combination class for an
introduction to Jazz. Admission to these classes is by instructor
permission only. If a student has had prior training at another
studio, it will be necessary to do a student evaluation to determine
whether placement in the Ballet, Tap, Jazz combination class is
appropriate.
8 & 9 Year Olds~
Beginning level one hour classes are available in Ballet, Tap, and
Jazz. For students that have already had one or more years of
Ballet, Tap, or Jazz, there are appropriate level classes available
with admission to those classes by the instructors permission only.
10 to 12 Year Olds~
These students can add Hip Hop and Modern Dance to their beginning
class options along with Ballet, Tap, and Jazz.. As
with 8 and 9 year olds, DANCE TIME offers more
advanced classes in Ballet, Tap, and Jazz for students with prior
training. Admission to intermediate and advanced level classes are
by instructor permission only. Students coming from other studios
will need to be evaluated to determine which class levels would be
appropriate.
Teens (13 to 18)~
For teen students we offer beginning, intermediate and advanced classes in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern,
Lyrical and
Hip Hop. Admission to intermediate and advanced level
classes are by instructor permission only. Students coming from
other studios will need to be evaluated to determine which class
levels would be appropriate.
All Students~
All students are encouraged to participate in DANCE TIME’s
Annual Recital. This event gives the students an opportunity to use
the technique they have learned throughout the year and perform in
an exciting show for their family and friends.
