For our youngest dancers. Our syllabus is specifically designed for 2-4 year olds to learn proper technique and classroom etiquette through Creative Dance, Ballet, Tap, Jazz, and Acro. Our studio is certified through the Acrobatic Arts AcroDance Preschool Program, specifically designed for this age group.
A more structured option for young dancers with at least 1 year of experience or older beginners. Designed for 4-6 year olds, we continue to focus on technique and classroom etiquette while adding performance and choreography aspects. Classes focus on Ballet, Jazz, Tap, and Acro and start to introduce syllabus work based on CTDA, ADAPT, and Acrobatic Arts.
Graded Classes
Once students are ready for structured classes they move to our Graded Classes Program. Starting with Primary Level dancers work through a progressive syllabus. Class placements are based on age, experience, and ability and are at the discretion of our teachers. All students in this program are required to take a minimum of 3 one hour classes each week, including mandatory Ballet and Jazz Classes
Ballet
Ballet is essential for the development of technique used in every dance form. Students gain strength, coordination and flexibility while gaining skills that will transfer to their other classes.
Ballet is mandatory for all BDC students.
Tap
This is where we make noise with our feet! Students learn technique, musicality, and coordination. We explore both Rhythmic and Broadway styles of tap
Jazz
A fun and fast paced class focusing on developing muscle strength, stamina, flexibility, and technique. This high energy class introduces leaps and turns as well as safe stretching.
Jazz is mandatory for all BDC
students.
Acro
Acro combines classical dance technique with elements of gymnastics.
We follow the Acrobatic Arts Syllabus and focus on progressions to help keep our dancers safe.
