This lively and imaginative class introduces young dancers to the fundamentals of ballet and tap in a fun, encouraging environment. Students will explore basic ballet positions, simple tap rhythms, coordination, musicality, and creative movement. Through age-appropriate exercises, games, and short combinations, dancers build confidence, body awareness, and a love for dance—all while learning classroom skills like taking turns, following directions, and working as a group.
Dress Code:
Girls: leotard, tights, ballet and tap shoes, hair secured away from face
Boys: White or black fitted T-shirt, black shorts or leggings, ballet and tap shoes
Teacher: Ms. Ciara
Location: Madrin Studio (115 N Poindexter Street)
Parents: The goal of this class is to help students build independence by attending class on their own, listening to the instructor, and participating without parents present. To support this, we ask that parents drop off and leave during class time. Parents are welcome to join us for the final five minutes of class if they would like to observe.
Tuition & Schedule Note:
Our monthly dance class tuition is already calculated with holiday breaks, occasional studio closures, and teacher absences in mind. This means the monthly rate is lower than a per-class fee and remains the same each month. Because these planned (and unplanned) breaks are already factored into the pricing, there are no prorates, refunds, or make-up credits for missed classes or scheduled holidays.
Tentative Schedule:
Jan 6- Classes Start
April 9- No Class Spring Break
May 28- Last Day of Classes
