Foundations

Students are initially placed in a Foundations class based on their birth date, as indicated in the description for each class. However, program flexibility allows for movement to other levels by the discretion of the Foundations staff. This individualized approach takes into consideration the student’s ability as well as their age.

Grown Up & Me (2.5 – 3 years)

The Grown-Up & Me class is for our tiniest of dancers. These youngest students are accompanied by an adult in this class, making Grown Up & Me a great way to bond with your child and to get them socialized at a younger age. Children must be 2.5 on or before September 1st.
