SESSION A (ages 5-7 yrs)
We ask parents to participate in the studio during the class.
Saturdays, August 24th – September 21st (5 classes)
45 mins – 10:00-10:45 a.m.
This creative movement class explores music, rhythms, isolated lower and upper body movement, basic full body stretches, and basic ballet positions. As the program progresses, students are introduced to movement across the floor (ballet walks, marching, skipping, ballet kicks, etc.) and more challenging movement combinations and patterns. Students in this class can learn to become more independent and confident while having lots of fun moving with friends to lively music.

SESSION B (ages 8+)
Saturdays, August 17th – October 5th (8 classes)
45 mins – 9:00-9:45 a.m.
This class follows a typical pre-ballet class format. Students in this class learn the importance of warming up before rigorous movement and learn exercises that are effective at conditioning the body. Students are introduced to standing barre work and basic ballet combinations (plies, tendus, battement jetes, coupe, rond de jambes, etc.). Students also practice (unassisted) standing center work that builds upon barre combinations and traveling movement across the floor. At the end of class, students have the opportunity to practice creative and emotive movement to different pieces of music, allowing them to practice free expression.
This class emphasizes safe and controlled stretching, body awareness, appreciation for different styles of music, basic classical ballet technique, building confidence, the joy of working together on a team and making new friends.
This class also has dance helpers from the upper division of SBAZ who help Miss Kay provide a safe, fun, and welcoming class environment.
