Elementary Level is suggested for students ages 6-8 for those with previous dance experience or 9+ with no dance experience.  Our Elementary level is designed to introduce students to a range of dance styles including ballet, tap, and jazz. Male-identifying students are also eligible to take the Men’s Class. At this stage in training, the objective of classes becomes specific to the style of dance, developing vocabularies, unique approaches to movement, and aesthetic preferences for each class. All classes at this level are one-hour in duration, but classes of different styles may be back-to-back. It is recommended that Elementary Level students take a one-hour class twice a week.
