| Curriculum: Threshhold Division, ages 3 to 8 |
|
Le Studio, like most professional studios, does not teach formalized classical ballet to children under the age of eight. Before this age the physical and mental rigors of ballet are usually too demanding.  The Pre-Dance class for ages 3-6 is designed to introduce young children to the joys of movement by exploring and expanding their movement range. Building coordination, strength, flexibility, and balance in combination with musical exercises are some of the primary objectives of the class. Pre-Ballet for ages 6 to 8 is an introduction to the formalized structure and discipline of ballet class, barre work, and the French vocabulary. Tap/Jazz for ages 5 to 8 is an alternative to the pre-dance and pre-ballet classes, and is an introduction to basic tap, rhythm steps, and free style movements danced to today's music.
