Class Descriptions
Toddler & Parent-and-Me Classes
Broadway Babies
Our Broadways Babies dance class is designed to help your child develop social, motor, and cognitive skills throughout their toddler years. This class is available to children ages 18-36 months. The class is introduced with mom, dad or caregivers participating with their dancer. As the year progresses, adults may slowly filter out of the classroom. Each 30 minute class is thoughtfully designed to cater to your toddler’s short attention span. Along with the support of you right by their side, your dancer will have time to explore and have fun!
This fun and engaging class introduces young dancers to the joy of movement through music, rhythm, and imagination! Caregivers are encouraged to participate by holding their baby or toddler while gently guiding them through movement, helping them feel safe, connected, and engaged. Dancers will explore basic dance concepts using songs, props, and creative activities that build coordination, balance, and listening skills. With a focus on self-expression and play, this class helps develop confidence while nurturing a love for dance in a positive and energetic environment.
Beginner Classes
Ballet & Tap
The goal of our dance program is to instill a love of dance. Our youngest dancers learn basic ballet and tap movements in a positive and fun environment. Proper technique is taught through creative dances and imagination. Each class starts with ballet and transitions to tap. These 45-minute structured classes are grouped by ages. As dancers’ journey through this comprehensive curriculum, they grow in developmentally appropriate skills.
Ballet & Jazz
This class combines the foundational technique of ballet with the energy and style of jazz. Dancers will build strength, flexibility, and proper alignment through ballet while also developing coordination, turns, jumps, and performance quality in jazz. This well-rounded class is perfect for dancers looking to grow technically while expressing themselves through movement.
Jazz & Tap
Jazz is the most popular dance form among dancers. Its movements are big, exaggerated, and there is typically an attitude the dancer wants to convey to the audience. Jazz emphasizes isolation, which is moving one part of the body such as the head, shoulder, or pelvis, while the rest of the body is still. It also emphasizes suspension, which is moving through a position rather than balancing. It is fast paced. This class is designed to introduce jazz technique, focusing on basic jazz positions, turns, jumps, and leaps. Students will also learn center and loco motor progressions as well as proper stretching techniques to enhance strength and flexibility. Basic Jazz dance terminology is discussed as well as stage directions, center and across the floor techniques, and short choreographed combinations. Tap is a syncopated dance style that is exhilarating and great fun! Tap classes are designed to develop rhythm, style and sound with an emphasis on clear tap sounds and showmanship.
