Course of Study: Classes are available at all levels. The placement of students in the various levels is left to the teacher, according to age and experience. Children are kept close to their own age group and benefit from small classes. Canadian Dance Teachers examinations and British Association Medal Tests are available at the recommendation of the teacher. These involve extra classes running 10 to 20 weeks to prepare the students to a recommended standard. Auditions for all students to enter competition are held each summer. Certain requirements and classes must be taken before a student may enter competition or take certain levels of exams. Tots 3-4 Years: This program is designed especially for a beginner level of dancing, using the benefits from all types of dancing, to teach poise, grace, beat and timing, co-ordination and flexibility. All this is accompanied with appropriate music. The purpose is to develop the first step towards a basic background in dancing and an awareness of timing and music. There are two levels; Pre-tots (3 yrs.) and Tiny-tots (4 yrs.). Ballet / Acro 5 Years: The next level up from Tiny Tots, designed especially for this age group, giving more in-depth ballet and acrobatic training. Ballet / Ballet Pointe: Is available at all levels from 6 years and up. Ballet is an important basis for all types of dancing. It develops better form, control, poise and balance as well as creating a joy in movement and music. Ballet Pointe is taught at the discretion of the teacher. It is only available to more advanced students who have reached  a satisfactory stage in ballet technique and are enrolled in at least two ballet classes per week. Tap: Recommended age 6 years. Teaches an awareness of beat, timing and rhythm, which provides a good foundation on which to create. Acrobatics: Recommended age 6 years. Acrobatic dancing has been very popular over the past few years. Based on the CDTA syllabus, acrobatic movements are combined with dance steps to make a very graceful and lovely style of dance. Modern Jazz: Recommended age 6 years and up. Jazz teaches body segregation, which like ballet is a must for the serious dancer. Children find jazz a rewarding experience while dancing to the latest music. Hip Hop: Based on street dance, this popular form of dance incorporates funky moves, isolation moves and more.
