Full Season Competitive and Examination classes for children ages 6 & up
Challenge
Our Challenge program is designed to provide dancers with a high-calibre technical and artistic knowledge in a wide range of dance styles. The Challenge program is for the committed dancer seeking to improve their technical and performance skills, through a variety of both examination and non-examination classes, while promoting confidence, discipline, respect, teamwork and lifelong friendships. This program is comprised of two distinctive terms: Technique Term and Performance Term. During the Technique Term (Aug-Dec) the focus is on the technical and artistic development and preparation for ballet, jazz, and tap examinations. The Performance Term (Jan-June) the focus is on the creation of routines in preparation for dance competitions and our highly anticipated Annual Year-End Performances.

Acro Basics
Flexibility, Strength, and Tumbling
Ages 7+
Acrobatic Dance, or acro as it is commonly referred to by dancers and dance professionals, is the beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. Acro technique includes balancing, limbering, tumbling and partnering, based in flexibility, contortion and strength.
ACRO BASICS: Introductory level acro class for students with none or little previous experience in Acro.
ACRO FOUNDATIONS: Foundation level acro class for students with previous experience in Acro.
Placement in levels is based on skills and not age. Children will be accessed in the first two classes and may be moved to an appropriate level.
This is a performance class and students are required to also attend either a Ballet or a Combo class. Students in the Acro Program will participate in our Year-End Performances in June.
