our programs
MOM AND ME: This is for Dad's, too! Young dancers (with Mom or Dad in the room) ages 18 months to 3 years are given an introduction to their first dance class. Classroom etiquette, working with others, small and large motor skill development, hand-eye coordination, and creative movement are all a part of this fun 45-minute class.
PRESCHOOL: Our wonderful 3-4-5's not yet in school are given a class that includes Pre-ballet, Tap, and Acrobatics continuing to develop motor skills, creative dance, and social interaction on their very own! Our "Kombo Kids" are featured each June in our exclusive Mini Revue!
K-1: Our many years of dance teaching experience has taught us many things, too! Once the little ones begin school they are open to learning new things and can stay focused on one subject during the class time. The 5-6's can choose ballet, tap, jazz, acro, or Hip Hop in an hour-long class we've developed just for their age. These "K-1 Kids" are also featured in the June Mini Revue!
REGULAR PROGRAM: Students ages 7 (second grade) and up are offered Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Acro, and Hip Hop. We offer classes to all ages and all levels. Evaluations may be necessary to make sure the students are placed in the right class. For older, more experienced students, we offer Lyrical, Contemporary, Pointe, and Company level classes.
