CHILDREN'S CLASS LEVELS & DESCRIPTIONS

Students are to register in the appropriate age group and dance form, in either the regular or experienced (exp) levels. Experienced levels are for students who have been in the same age group for a full year or new students with a strong dance background. Placement will be at the discretion of the teacher or the dance school principal.

Moms & Tots
For children aged 2 and a parent. Includes rhythmic play and creative movement. Open to 3 year olds who are not ready to take class on their own

Pre-jazz
Ages 3 to 5 - Designed to instill the love of dance in the young dancer, this pre-jazz class will introduce concepts of listening, moving through space, and co-operating with others within a creative dance framework with use of jazz music and some jazz terminology.

Jazz
Ages 6-12 - Keeping a connection to the history of jazz dance, the DJD children's jazz program places strong emphasis on common dance techniques and skills within the jazz context along with vernacular (social) dance steps from the early days of jazz dance. Emphasis is placed on joy of dance and accuracy of movement in an encouraging and non-threatening atmosphere.

Tap
The introduction of basic tap skills and rhythms will guide dancers through this fun class. Increased speed and complexity of steps will grow as the student moves into experienced classes.
