Preparatory Division

Our Preparatory division is the perfect place to jumpstart your dancer's growth from ages 4-8!

Designed for children aged 4-8, our Preparatory Division offers an engaging introduction to ballet and tap, focusing on the essential elements of rhythm, movement, and creativity.

In Preparatory 1 & 2, your dancer will explore tap alongside ballet, developing a strong foundation in rhythm and coordination.

As they progress to Preparatory 3, they will begin their journey into character and jazz dance, broadening their artistic expression and technique.

With guidance from our experienced teachers, your dancer will enhance their coordination, musicality, and social skills. Through imaginative activities and structured lessons, they'll build confidence, discipline, and lifelong friendships.

Join us for an unforgettable adventure in the enchanting world of dance!
