Kids Dance Classes - Ballet
Ballet is a classic dance style, that’s all about technique, grace, and discipline. At our Pinecrest dance studio, we offer a full program in ballet to develop your child’s technical proficiency and artistic expression through the progressions of instruction.
It starts with general classes that allow the young dancer to be introduced playfully to the basic positions and movements. In advanced stages, students develop those skills into more complex choreography.
In intermediate levels, more advanced techniques and elements of performance are introduced to improve coordination and artistic expression. Classes for older students then focus on advanced techniques and classical repertoire for further ballet training or performance.
With the one-on-one attention provided by our experienced teachers in a warm and nurturing environment, each dancer can develop their skills and self-confidence while having a structured ballet education.
Flamenco
Flamenco is among the most passionate dance styles that originated in Spain. The Flamenco program at our Pinecrest dance studio introduces kids to the world of Flamenco dancing with passion.
Classes start right from the basics: Young children learn the fundamentals of Flamenco, basic steps, rhythm, and body movements. The early classes emphasize fun, making a creative space for strong technical coordination.
As the student progresses, he or she is taught more complex Flamenco techniques and choreography. Variations of the styles of Flamenco are pursued in the intermediate class to further the dancer’s proficiency and knowledge of the dance. Emphasis will be placed on the perfection of the footwork, performance quality, and individual style.
Our experienced teachers are committed to each dancer’s growth in a supportive and inspiring space so that one may gain a full and enriching Flamenco education.
