Pre-ballet/Jazz is an introduction to dance for dancers ages 2-4 that  teaches the fundamental techniques of ballet, jazz, and tap.  

Ballet is a theatrical form of dance with a long history. It creatively expresses the full range of human emotions through physical movements and gestures. Most ballets tell a story, using mime, music, costumes, and scenery to reinforce the dramatic feeling.

Leaps, turns, and isolation are at the core of Jazz dance.  

Dancers will learn musicality, rhythm, improve flexibility, and strength in Jazz.  

Tap dance is a style that uses shoes with metal taps to strike the floor creating rhythmic sounds. Tap dance includes rapid foot moments combined with interpretive body movements.
