Happy Feet Programs All of our classes are tons of fun! Music, choreography and technical skills are all age appropriate. We strive to enhance student’s coordination, confidence and social interaction. We acknowledge that all students are unique in their own way with different challenges and capabilities. We encourage all students to do the best that they can do and praise their own, individual accomplishments. We never judge or compare student’s abilities to one another. We offer a comprehensive dance education program. Our program allows students to have options in what and how often they study. We offer three different programs, to accommodate all students, based on their age and commitment level. Tippy Toe Program (Ages 2-6): Our Tippy Toe Program is so much fun! Students are placed into classes based on their age. The main focus of the Tippy Toe Program is to enhance students’ gross motor development, while instilling a love of dance. Tippy Toe classes frequently use props (example: magic wands and butterfly wings) to stimulate imagination and enhance coordination. Classes also incorporate basic tumbling to promote strength and flexibility. Not only does the Tippy Toe Program teach basic dance technique, but students also work on taking turns, social skills and basic preschool skills (counting, color recognition). Tiny Tots: 30 minute class for 2 year olds (introduces pre-ballet technique)
Creative Dance I: 45 minute class for 3 year olds (introduces basic ballet technique, also introduces tap halfway through the year) Creative Dance II: 45 minute class for 4 year olds (half tap, half ballet) Kinder Kids: 1 hour long class designed for the Kindergarten student. Students are able to develop a solid foundation for dance. They study Tap and Ballet the first half of the year. The second half of the year, they study Tap and Jazz.
Happy Feet Program (Ages 6-18): “Fun, Fitness and Friends!” This program incorporates any style of dance taken on a recreational level (1 class per week) for ages 6+. The objective of the Happy Feet Program is for students to have fun and become more physically active. Taking dance class recreationally will not produce a polished dancer. However, it will enhance students’ coordination while helping students stay fit for a healthy lifestyle. Please refer to the "Classes" page for our class offerings.
Fancy Feet Program (Ages 6-18): This program is designed for students with a strong interest in dance, ages 6+. This is a more intense program in which students take a minimum of 2 classes per week, including a Ballet class. By taking multiple classes per week, students are able to build more intricate skills than a recreational student. Students in the Fancy Feet Program have the option of joining the Fancy Feet Performance Company. Please refer to the "Classes" page for our class offerings.
