Early-Elementary Class Descriptions:

Kinderdance: This class is for students in Kindergarten that wish to grow their jazz, tap and ballet skills to join TJB or EDYI as they progress.

Intro to Hip Hop: A fun introduction to Hip Hop for children in Kindergarten or entering Kindergarten for the 2025-2026 school year.
Hip-Hop: This class is for dancers in grades 1st-3rd that love to move and execute more athletic movements such as break dancing and tumbling. But, are not looking for foundational dance classes such as jazz, ballet, tap and lyrical. Intro to hip-hop is the perfect class for a student taking hip-hop for the first time ever. Hip-Hop II is for students that have studied dance or hip-hop for at least 1-2years.

Musical Theatre Dance Production: This class is for dancers in grades K-2nd that LOVE to act and sing. There will certainly be movement and dance in this class, but theatre is the main focus

TJB I & II: Tap, Jazz, Ballet I (grades 1 -2) and Tap, Jazz, Ballet II (Grades 2nd-3rd) is for students that enjoy traditional dance genres and are looking to grow their foundational skills. This program will get them ready to audition for EDYI or join teen classes that include Tap, Jazz, Ballet or Lyrical.

Youth Performance : This class is only a fundamentals program and is taken as an addition to TJB I or II, Hip Hop or Musical Theatre Dance . It gives these students extra chances to perform throughout the season. Payments for this program are due in full before the sessions begins.
