Dance Fundamentals Ages 5 to 15
Building a Strong Foundation
In the Springs Dance Fundamentals program, new dancers ages 5 to 15 learn the dance technique, terminology, and skills that provide a strong foundation for future learning. Classes are a combination of ballet, tap, and jazz. Click below to get started with a two-week trial that includes an intro lesson and free dance shoes!
Ballet
Ballet is the foundation of dance training. Students develop strength, coordination, flexibility, and balance by practicing ballet. All dance styles will refer to ballet technique and terminology. Fundamentals classes devote 50% of their instructional time to ballet training.
Tap and Jazz
The remaining class time is divided between tap and jazz dance. In tap classes, students develop rhythm and precision as they learn to move their feet to the beat. Jazz dance training helps students build expression and artistry in their movements.
Youth Dance Levels 2 to 5
Intermediate to Advanced Training
After mastering the fundamentals of dance, youth continue to develop their skills and have additional training opportunities as they progress through higher level classes. New students with previous dance experience may also be accepted to more advanced level classes after being evaluated by an instructor.
Leadership
Youth accepted to a Level 2 or above program are also considered part of the Springs Dance leadership team, charged with supporting the positive, character-building community we've worked so hard to build at the studio.
Level 2
Level 2 students add additional skills and training to the foundation established in their fundamentals class. Classes meet twice a week and are a combination of advanced beginner ballet, tap, and jazz.
Level 3
At the Level 3 or late beginner stage, students devote additional time to each style, having the opportunity to enroll in up to 4 different classes in a program devoted to training in ballet, jazz, and more. Students at this level also become eligible to audition for additional performance opportunities like the bi-annua Nutcracker production.
Level 4 and 5
Intermediate and advanced dancers at levels 4 and 5 become more focused on their ballet training, still have the options to add additional technique, jazz, and contemporary classes and begin developing the strength for advanced ballet technique in pre-pointe or pointe classes. Level 4 and 5 dancers may also be invited to dance with the Springs Dance performance team and receive additional leadership experience by assisting with pre-dance or fundamentals classes.
