Ages 10-12. A continued study of dance designed for students with emphasis on more advanced steps, terminology, and technique. Combination classes in this age range are 1 hour each for Ballet, Tap, and Jazz and are on the same day for the convenience of the busy parent. Children are grouped by similar age as well as ability because both are important factors in placing children properly in these classes.

Ballet builds confidence and promotes self-discipline. It also gives children a sense of movement, rhythm and an appreciation of music. Good posture, grace, strength and agility are all derived from ballet training.
