Our goal is to make sure we are building the love of dance in each child; nurturing their natural creativity in a fun and loving atmosphere. In an effort to provide a solid foundation from which our young dancers may grow, we offer core combination classes at each age level. While each one of our combination classes teaches multiple forms of dance, we keep the class material age appropriate for each level. Each of these classes are one hour long and provide instruction in both ballet and tap each week. All classes are co-ed. Black, matte tap shoes and pink canvas ballet shoes are required. All shoes and apparel can be ordered/purchased in-studio in the Butterfly Boutique.
Our individual classes are, in general, for children ages 4 and up (some restrictions apply). These weekly, hour long classes focus on only one form of dance. While we recommend that students participating in individual classes have previous experience or simultaneous enrollment in a combination class, it is not required. Whenever possible, we divide our individual classes by skill level as opposed to age range. All classes are co-ed except Boys Only Hip Hop. All required apparel and footwear is available for purchase/order in-studio at the Butterfly Boutique.
