Dance Company - Class Listings

All previous and new students will be placed by ability. If instructors feel your child would progress better in another class, he or she will be moved within the first three months of class. A goal of The Dance Co. is to place children in classes where they can improve their dancing skills and have fun at the same time.

Preschool (Ages 3-4): This class consists of Ballet, Tap and introduction to jazz. The focus is on balance and coordination. Preschool classes are presented in a fun format that encourages learning while maintaining discipline. Children in this class will do two dances in our annual recital.

Kindergarten (Ages 5-6): This class consists of Ballet, Tap and Jazz. Students will learn new and different steps for each subject while increasing their flexibility and ability to dance. Children will do two dances in our annual recital.

Level 1, 2, and 3 Combination (Ages 6-9): Combination classes are continuing Ballet, Tap and Jazz. The emphasis is on more technical studies as they develop further poise, balance and coordination. Children will do two or three dances in our annual recital.

Ballet (Levels 1-6, Ages 10 and up): Ballet is the foundation of all dance subjects. It is recommended that all children study ballet to polish and perfect a higher degree of dancing skills. Ballet students will perform one dance in our annual recital. Ballet levels 4-6 are required to take 1 barre class per week.

Jazz (Levels 1-6, Ages 10 and up): Emphasis is on learning more difficult combinations while working on showmanship and becoming a more stylized dancer. Correct technique is stressed while performing more difficult choreography. Jazz dancers will perform one dance in our annual recital.

DANCE FEES

All dance fees with the exception of the one time $20.00 registration fee are consolidated. When you register, a $70.00 costume fee (per dance performed in the spring recital), as well as a one time Recital Fee ($60.00 for first student $30.00 for each additional student, which includes a recital t-shirt) will be totaled with 10 months of lesson fees. This lump sum will then be divided into ten equal monthly payments. This is to avoid paying large costume fees at one time, and to keep accounting more convenient for the clients. Please remember that all fees are NON-REFUNDABLE.
