The Philosophy of On Your Toes Academy of Dance is to "Instill a love of dance in all students. Every class is taught by well qualified and our dancers receive is the very 'BEST".
The following is a brief description of our classes, see registration form for age requirements.
BALLET - PRE-SCHOOL
PRINCESS BALLERINA - by request only. Every little girl has wished to become a special princess, runs, skips and basic ballet technique are taught in this fun filled class. Often starting off with a short story about a special
princess the young dancer will re-enact the fairy tale.
ENCHANTED DOORWAY
We need to find the magic key which will unlock the magic doorway and take us on a wonderful adventure to a very special place, perhaps a funfair perhaps a jungle. Ballet technique is introduced through story.
MERMAIDS AND BUTTERFLIES
This is a combination ballet/tap class, there is a progression in the ballet technique whilst still being taught through story and basic tap rhythm's are taught.
KINDERGARTEN PERFORMING ARTS ENRICHMENT PROGRAM
For the first time ever a 2 1/2 hour Kindergarten Performing Arts Enrichment Program.
The students meet twice a week either a.m or p.m and have instruction in Ballet, Tap,Jazz and Poms, in addition the students have an Art
class once a week and a Theatre class once a week with all programs co-ordinating with each other, e.g. Props needed for theatre will be made
in art class. There will be lunch offered by the studio .
CLASSICAL BALLET CLASSES
Our curriculum is based on the Royal Academy of Dance, Balanchine, Checcetti, Vaganova and American Academy of Ballet.
Dancers develop poise, strength, flexibility and co-ordination as well as a knowledge of the ballet terminology.
Ballet is the foundation of all styles of dance and a strong ballet training will allow a dancer to excel in many other forms of dance,
therefore ballet is a requirement for most classes at On Your Toes Academy of Dance.
The Performance Awards Program is part of our ballet curriculum 1st Steps and up ( see website for Performance awards info)
