Class Descriptions

 Our CBG Program is the introduction to classical dance for preschoolers ages 3yrs- 4yrs old.  Each class consists of 45 minutes of the following...

Creative Movement:  exploring their motor skills in a fun and creative way.

Ballet Basics: basic fundamental structure of steps and positioning that is required for further training and injury prevention.

Gymnastics: various balances and tricks that are supported by strength and flexibility.

All classical dance education begins with the foundation of ballet. The muscle structure of a dancer starts early on with learning how to control and carry the body. 

The essential ballet basics includes learning all the ballet positions, proper posture and carriage, strength and stretching of the ankle and toes which results in the proper muscle development of long and lean muscles. 

Discover the excitement and beauty of ribbon dance as the students explore how movement evokes feelings and images while using a long ribbon on a wand to further assist in the visual expression of movement.  

The discipline foundation is ballet with an added element of learning how to dance with a prop both as an individual and a group.

All props, ribbon wands, will be supplied for the use of in class curriculum only.  

Learn to become a fierce percussionist using only your feet.  Special shoes are worn with metal on the heel and toe designed for "tap dance" allow the dancer to create music while learning rhythm, timing syncopation, beats and so much more.

Both mind and body are challenged with progressions and variations for individual advancement throughout the sessions.  Games are played such as music games with "Simon says" and sound memory games such as "call and respond".  These games are a fun way to practice outside of the classroom as well.

Tap related coloring pages are sometimes assigned as homework to encourage further training at home.

Hip Hop consists of three (3) basic techniques which include: 

1.  Breaking: floor tricks

2.  Locking: is a strong and tight movement that stops completely in a frozen position for a moment.

3.  Popping: the fast contraction followed by the release of a muscle which causes a jerk in the body.  This muscle action is done repetitively and quickly.

This is an ideal class for any student who enjoys moving to music.
