Fundamental Level II (7-8)

(Note: Must be 7 years old by 8/31/2026)

This level is the first for students who begin studying ballet and tap with a more in-depth understanding of what dance entails. Their ballet class focuses on strengthening the ankles through relevés. Taking tap will include mastering movements that travel the stage in more complicated patterns and adding to their terminology list. Jazz progresses through stretching and flexibility to traveling across the floor adding in leaps and turns and working on the various styles of jazz dance. For this level ballet, tap and/or jazz is offered.

NOTE: NOTE: Students ages 9-10 years with no dance experience should start in this level to give them time to "catch up" on the terminology and technique needed to move into their own age group. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us.
