Dancers train in a variety of jazz styles while rehearsing choreography for community events and North Coast Dance productions. Admission is by audition or instructor recommendation.

Ballet Level 1-6: As your student progresses through a syllabus consisting of 6 levels, they will be trained with the most current techniques and a commitment to the individual dancer’s growth and progress. Most dancers spend 2 years at each level to digest and integrate the dance technique at that level. For the motivated student, this program will give your dancer the tools and techniques they will need to pursue a professional career. Review classes are given during the spring semester of each academic year with feedback sent to families for leveling.

Intro to Ballet (ages 7 – 8): This class will prepare your student to successfully transfer into level 1. They will learn basic barre work, body alignment, positions of their feet and arms and begin to focus on simple choreography.

Kinder Ballet (ages 5 – 6): A Ballet style dance class designed to introduce kindergarten aged dancers to the joy of movement with music and basic Ballet steps.

Creative Movement (ages 3 – 4): Get your young dancer moving to music as they explore rhythm, coordination, music and spatial awareness.

Mini Movers (ages 18 months – 3 years): Guided songs, rhythm and music games, dance games, and movement/coordination challenges, as well as free dance and play time with a variety of props to provide inspiration and exploration. Grown-ups are required to stay and encouraged to actively participate with their little one. There will also be seating around the room. 

Intermediate Jazz (by instructor recommendation): Intermediate Jazz is for dancers who have basic understanding of core jazz movement and technique and who demonstrate an ability to catch on to new skills quickly. Dancers should be able to learn choreography relatively quickly.

Beginning Jazz (ages 8+): This class covers basic movement and technique of jazz. A major focus is increasing flexibility, learning various types of turns and jumps, and basic choreography. 

Junior Jazz/Tiny Tap (ages 5 – 7): Focuses on teaching the very basics of tap technique, jazz technique, musicality, and class etiquette. The goal is that they will be ready to take a beginning tap class or jazz class upon completion of this level. But for the youngest students they may be more comfortable completing 2 terms in this class before moving onto a beginning tap or jazz class.
