Monday 12:45-1:30 Pre-Ballet Age 3

(We can take 2.5 year olds as long as they will be turning 3 by December 1, 2011).

Room 335 or 331B, depending on teacher

The class is a structured program designed for the early development of technical ballet and movement. It precisely meets the needs and limitations of pre-schoolers by providing a carefully paced sequence of exercises to develop physical conditioning with poise and grace. Since children naturally respond to music and movement, the activities are presented through music. In the program, children learn self-discipline, listening skills, coordination skills, left and right discrimination, patterns in movement, and pre-ballet.
Dress Code – Girls will need a pink leotard, pink tights and pink ballet slippers. Long hair should be pulled away from the face. Please dress your child at home if they have a morning class. Be sure to label all dance attire.

Monday 1:30-2:15 Tap-Ballet ages 3-4 (Pre-K)

Room 335 or 331B, depending on teacher

A perfect combination class. The class is divided with 20 minutes of tap and 25 minutes of ballet. Since ballet is the basis for all dance technique, the combination of both work hand in hand. The technical training is taught through ballet; which in turn helps teach the proper shifting of weight and patterns in movement for tap.
Dress Code – Girls will need a pink leotard, pink tights, pink ballet slippers, and black tap shoes. Long hair should be pulled away from the face. Be sure to label all dance attire.

Classes are held September-May. A recital is held at the church in May for all students. Costumes are provided.

What: A yoga program designed for children ages 3-5 that will focus on the communion of the body, mind, and spirit as a form of worshiping their Creator. The kids’ yoga classes will encourage children to explore, discover, and connect with their minds and bodies in a fun and creative way. Classes will provide a safe and non-competitive environment for children to express themselves, stimulate their imagination, and release their energy with a certified kids’ yoga instructor. Incorporating breathing exercises, stretching exercises, animated poses and visualization techniques, kids’ yoga promotes healthy bodies and teaches kids how to focus, relax, and develop self control. Unlike other kid’s activities, there’s no right or wrong in yoga- no score, no evaluation, just fun!

Refund and cancellation policies can be viewed online: Refunds are subject to $20 processing fee. No refunds after the teams have been drafted (November 18).

My child has practice (examples: violin, piano, ballet, cheerleading, basketball, baseball, etc) and would like to make sure there will be no conflict with basketball.We do not guarantee all requests. We can give you last year’s schedule, but that schedule could change for this upcoming season. You may enter a request during your online registration, but be aware that when you request specific day/time of practice and at the same time request to be with a friend, both requests may not be fulfilled or fulfilling one request will cancel the other.
