CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Creative Movement: This style of dance is for our young dancers (ages 2-5). Creative movement will encourage self discipline, self-confidence while incorporating coordination, rhythm and basic dance steps. Children will work on large motor skills, spatial awareness and flexibility. Dancers are to wear hair tied back and away from face, pink leather ballet shoes, leotard and tights. Ballet: Ballet is the basis of all dance styles. We teach theatrical ballet at Masters. This allows us to teach our own style of ballet and incorporate classical ballet at the same time. Dancers will learn technique, terminology, grace, poise discipline and an appreciation for the arts. Dancers will begin class at the barre. Then move to center floor work and then close the class with across the floor combinations. Ballet is the most disciplined and important form of dance for all serious dancers. This class is progressive. *Dancers may move into the next level with teacher's permission. Dancers are to wear hair tied back away from face, pink leather ballet shoes, solid colored leotard and pink tights. Dance skirts are permitted.
