Stepping Up Dance Arts

Classes range in age from toddler to 12. Here is brief description of each class:

Jitterbugs (1-3 years) Come dance, sing, and perhaps learn a yoga posture or 2 with me and the Jitterbugs! This interactive class will have mom (dad, granny, auntie, or guardian) and your toddler exploring, tapping, jumping, and laughing throughout!

Tippy Toe Ballet (3 - 4 years) - Your little ones will grow in independence as they use their imagination and creativity to enhance their movement with basic ballet and creative dance steps! Singing and laughing along the way!

SuperHeroTraining (4-8 years) - This fun filled class will teach kids to be healthy and fit by following a SuperHero's regime! SuperHeroTraining combines strength, flexibility, and agility through fun activities that are safe for your child's growing bodies! The class will explore movement through music, stimulate students' imagination and promote creativity! SuperHeroTraining will also give them an understanding of the classroom community, improve social skills and develop fine and grossmotor skills all while having fun!

Pre-Ballet/Creative Dance (4 -6 years) - This class will introduce very young children to the basic elements of dance and movement. Students will learn to dance both as individuals and as a member of a group as they develop rhythm, coordination, flexibility, creativity, expression, imagination, self-awareness, and self-confidence. We also incorporate the use of various props such as scarves, bean bags, rhythm instruments and more (these props are used in all classes!).

Tap/Jazz/Ballet Combo (6 - 8 years) - Dancers will enjoy this class that builds on basic movements we have been working on but is still appropriate for first time dancers. Jazz portion includes an intro to proper warm-ups and stretches for the body combined with across-the-floor and mini combinations. The tap portion will concentrate on building confidence thru mastering more difficult patterns and steps. Ballet portion will include intro to ballet barre and learning more challenging steps.

Stepping Up Dance Arts is dedicated to teaching children the art of dance in a fun and modern way.
Younger children will learn with imagery based and creative movement using props and classical music.
Older children will learn contemporary technique using props and popular
music. All classes are designed to grow with the child's ability and agility in a non-competitive environment.
