DanceFIT for Kids presents young ballerinas the opportunity to transform into fairies, superheroes and animals through creative movement exercises designed to foster emotional, intellectual and social skills. The young dancers will delight in the fundamentals of classical ballet while improving their coordination and motor skills. Our age-appropriate dance syllabus for children uses concepts to which children can relate to introduce movements progressively. Fun music selections (from Disney to Chopin) advance children's understanding of rhythm and melody. Warning: kids who start dancing with us have been known to put on performances in their home living rooms every day of the week.

DanceFIT for Kids: Pre-Ballet
*This class is suitable for ages 3-4.

A program developed for the young dancer that focuses on coordination. Students learn basic class etiquette, such as learning to take turns and participate in a group. Students are exposed to ballet terminology such as plie, releve, chasse, and passe explained in simple terms the young dancer will remember. A portion of the class is set aside for stretching to develop flexibility and free dance encouraging students to respond individually to different types of music.

DanceFIT for Kids: Ballet 1A
*This class is suitable for ages 5-7.

Students work primarily in first and second position. Correct body placement is emphasized at the beginning of each class. Students learn the five basic ballet positions of arms and feet. Typical exercises include: plies, tendus, degages, rond de jambe, and grande battemante. While the students are exposed to the technical names, the exercises are explained in terms the young dancers will remember. Stretching continues to be an important part of each class (at this level stretches are done seated on the floor). Students are cautioned to stretch slowly and to work at their own level of flexibility. Students learn basic ballet steps such as glissade, balance, jete, and grande jete.
