Kathy Chamberlain instructs pre-ballet students in Plano, TX

AGES 4-6

The Pre-Ballet program offers a creative and enjoyable introduction to ballet specifically designed to bring the joy of movement and music to your children. These classes introduce students to the basic shapes, vocabulary, and postures of classical ballet. Coordination and motor skills become more refined as children are challenged to mold their bodies to these very specific positions. Musicality, flexibility, and dynamics of movement are stressed as the students gain more control of their bodies and learn the healthy habit of exercising at an early age. Pre Ballet classes for ages 4 through Kindergarten meet once a week for 45 minutes.

Girls: Black leotard (No skirts, please), theatrical pink tights, pink leather ballet shoes-no split soles (preferably Capezio, Bloch, or Sansha), hair secured in a bun or ponytail. A secured headband may be worn for short hair.

JAZZ DIVISION

Jazz includes a set center warm-up that combines ballet, modern and jazz techniques, and is designed to strengthen and increase flexibility. The warm-up is an essential part of each class.  Floor exercises continue further body placement, strengthening abdominal and lower back muscles and leg stretches.  Progressions across the floor have a specific intention and focuses on putting technique into action with a series of challenging steps, turns, and jumps that helps the dancer connect movements. It focuses on agility, style, and supports the work in the combination. The final combination will challenge the dancer to put all the elements together with a sense of style and presentation.

The aim is to develop dancers with the freedom of movement that comes from a firm technical foundation, grace style and attitude! 

Styles covered in classes include Classic Jazz, Broadway, Latin, Lyrical, and Hip Hop. Jazz classes meet once a week for 1 hour- 1.5 hours.

Modern
contemporary
dance

These classes combine the fundamentals of the techniques of Martha Graham, Jose Limon, Bill Evans, and Lester Horton. It is important to acknowledge the origin of the term "modern dance," in that this dance form broke from earlier classical traditions in order to reflect the contemporary issues and artistic expressions of the time. Therefore, this class develops a training methodology which focuses on developing the "thinking" dancer, who will use his or her artistic expression and technique to express the issues and aesthetics of contemporary times.

Modern classes meet once a week for 1 hour- 1.5 hours.
