Miss Matrisha's Dance Classes

By age 5 children are ready to focus on ballet technique. Through simple barre and center work children develop strength, coordination and flexibility. Emphasis is on articulate footwork, expressive carriage of the arms and small to medium jumps. They learn musicality by learning choreography set to traditional ballet music. Dancing expressively is encouraged in a balance of structured movement and improvization. This curriculum gives young dancers a foundation that allows them to easily move on to more serious training. For these classes children need to wear a simple dance leotard (a short skirt is optional) with tights and ballet shoes. There is a recital held in the spring where dancers wear a colorful costume and perform on stage for their family and friends.
