Center for Movement Education from Birth to Adults
Dancing Bugs This 45 minute introductory to dance class is for 2 to 3 yr olds and a parent/caregiver. In this class we explore tap, creative ballet and tumbling( gymnastics) in a safe, fun and creative environment. We introduce basic skills through theme lesson plans and the use of props and familiar songs. The perfect introduction to dance and movement.
Interested in this class, please call us for details. *Other days and times will be added too with interest.
Tap, Tumble & Twirl
This combo class for 3 & 4 year olds includes a tap, creative ballet and tumbling class. Very similar to our TTTjr class, but in this class children enter the class without the parent/caregiver. Also, because of the developmental growth that happens in the preschool years, we are able to progress further with basic skills.
*Other classes may be added with interest. These classes are limited to 8 children. Once classes become full others will be opened. You can put your name on the waiting list and enroll in another, once a space becomes available you can transfer to that class.
Tap, Tumble & Twirl II
This class is for 4 & 5 year olds, and builds upon the basic movement skills that are inherent to all children. More complex patterns are introduced, as well as more complex movement concepts. Children of this age will do quite well with understanding simple rhythms, movement qualities, spatial patterns, and more. Classes are 1 hour in length being expanded to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Students learn tap patterns, ballet basics and tumbling/gymnastics.

Children interested in this class, call the studio for days and times.
Kids Combo
NEWLY CREATED THIS YEAR!!!! This 1 hour and 30 Minute class is for the 5 to 7 Year Old who wants to do it all! This class incorporates Ballet, Tap and our favorite Jazznastics class giving the student a nice blended, well-rounded dance education. We have created this class, because children who take more than one discipline, feel more confident and build skills faster. Students may take just one component, but it is strongly recommended to take as a whole.

Ballet Foundations
This class is a study of classical ballet for the serious dancer. Classes are 1 hour in length and prepare the student both physically and mentally. Although we don't follow a specific method of teaching, we primarily use the RAD technique.
Tap
Tap classes are a great way to build the skills needed to understand rhythms, tempo, and patterns. Throughout the years tap dance has blended styles of Bill Bojangles Robinson, Gene Kelly, Tommy Tune, Gregory Hines and Savion Glover. We incoporate all styles to give our dancers a well rounded tap eductation.
JAZZ/LYRICAL
Jazz incompasses a variety of styles, we expose our students to all the different styles. We incorporate stretch and strengthening exercises, across the floor progressions, center work, turns ,leaps and more.
