Accelerated Program
Class Information
Ballet
Our Ballet program follows the CDTA (Canadian Dance Teachers Association) program. The CDTA is a national teaching organization based out of Ontario. The CDTA offers a set curriculum for students of certain ages and levels and gives students the option to take exams and determine their skill level.
The benefit to parents in choosing a studio that is accredited with a national syllabus, is you are ensured your child is learning exercises from an experienced instructor. As well you can be safe in the knowledge that your child will be introduced to exercises in an age appropriate manner, allowing the safe development of strength and technique throughout their training.
Tap
Get your toes tapping! Tap is all about percussion, developing a sense of rhythm, and music interpretation. Emphasis is on strong footwork and identifying the names of individual steps. Nobody gets in trouble here for being too loud.
Jazz
Is your child an energizer bunny? Do they love to hear pop music, twirl, jump and shimmy? Maybe you have a jazz dancer on your hands! Our jazz classes are an experience in fast, upbeat, energetic, heart pumping good times!
Hip Hop
Bust some moves on the floor! Let your B-boyz or B-girlz bust a move in one of our high energy Hip Hop classes. We show them the fundamentals of hip hop and then turn them loose to see what they bring in terms of style and attitude.
