LITTLE ONES At interior dance we have 2 programs available for the smallest of dancers. Our Mommy & Me and Toddler Dance programs have been designed to introduce two and three year olds not only to dance, but to group activity, moving to music, improvisation, and creative movement. Nursery rhymes, songs, stretching exercises, and acting out stories will help prepare them for future dance moves and creative expression. PRE SCHOOL CREATIVE MOVEMENT These classes provide the foundation for dance with a lively and fun approach. Dance is introduced through Creative Movements, stories, rhymes and use of imagination. Each exercise has a specific purpose to help to develop their muscles and co-ordination for future, more challenging dance steps. BALLET (R.A.D. SYLLABUS) We offer the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus from Pre-Primary through the children’s grades and majors taught by a qualified R.A.D. teacher. This program offers techniques in classical ballet, free movement, creative expression, rhythm and character work. Students may have opportunities to pursue examinations. HIP HOP Also known as “Street Dancing” or “Jazz Funk”, this high-energy dance primarily danced to hip hop music. This includes a wide range of styles such as breaking, popping and locking that originate among young Hispanic & African-American men during the late 1960’s as part of a hip hop culture of rap and scratch music. Age appropriate music and moves are carefully selected. It is highly recommended that students without a ballet background and under the age of 13 also attend a Hip Hop/Jazz Conditioning class to develop good technical muscle memory, strength and co-ordination. Hip Hop/Jazz & Conditioning Class A high energy class performed to upbeat music. Students are placed according to age and ability. Hip Hop, Jazz, Ballet, Stretching and Conditioning exercises will be incorporated into the class to strengthen the students ability and technique. Although this class was designed to improve technique and coordination for students in Jazz or Hip Hop classes, some students attend this class on its own as it offers a bit of everything. ADULT BEGINNER BALLET This class gives adults an opportunity to get in shape with an introduction to ballet exercises, stretching, conditioning, and together with some jazz moves to up-beat music (Morning Class). If you have a ballet background and are interested in something beyond a beginner class please call to have your name added to our list of requests for dance classes. TAP Theatrical dance using precise rhythmical patterns of foot movement wearing shoes with metal plates that make a tapping sound when they touch hard surfaces. TAP/BALLET COMBO A class designed to introduce both ballet and tap to students for fun and recreation. (5-7 year olds) JAZZ A high energy class performed to upbeat music. With attention given to stretch, conditioning and jazz technique. Students are placed according to age and ability. It is highly recommended that students interested in Jazz classes attend ballet classes as well, to develop solid technique, strength and co-ordination. JAZZ/HIP HOP COMBO A high energy class performed to upbeat music. Students are placed according to age and ability. Ballet and stretching exercises will be incorporated into the class to strengthen the students dance ability and technique.
