Curriculum and Dress Code
Curriculum.

PRE-BALLET/TAP (3.5-5 years) A creative movement class for the beginner. Children take turns being “Dancer of the Day” and enjoy Doll Day once a
month. We work on large motor skills, basic ballet positions and pointed and flexed feet. The learning is all disguised to keep your student motivated.
Self-expression through music and movement is highly encouraged.

BALLET/TAP (5-8.5 years) A combination class for the beginning or continuing student. Students learn the basics of ballet and tap with a slight
emphasis on ballet. This is a great starter class as it gives the student a taste of each dance form for preference and skill level.

BALLET (8-9.5 years) The separate ballet class is ideal for the younger student who wishes to concentrate on ballet. It can be paired with a ballet/pre-
pointe class for the serious student or with a separate tap, jazz or hip-hop class for fun and style variety. It is necessary for the future pointe student.

JAZZY TAP (7-10 years) Created for the younger student who enjoys tap dancing and is anxiously awaiting to begin jazz. This class concentrates on
tap technique but adds today’s dance styles with a variety of music to keep them really moving.

TAP TECHNIQUE (9-up) For the intermediate and advanced tap dancer we study wings, pullbacks, syncopation, and other turning, challenging
combinations while emphasizing speed and clarity.

HIP-HOP (7-up) Current “street” styles and pop music mix for a fun, energetic class.

ADULT TAP We specialize in adult and senior citizen tap classes. We offer classes for the beginner through the advanced tapper, whether just for the
exercise or dying to perform. We’re very proud of our performing Shim-Sham Senior Tap Troupe, where all members must be at least 55 years of age.

ADULT COMBO You asked for it, so come dance! Geared for the beginner - advanced beginner, this class will feature different styles every session.
Sign up for what you want or try it all!

JAZZ (8-up) Students will learn jazz technique, including leaps and turns, proper stretching and performance skills while increasing their flexibility and
strength.

JAZZ WITH A BIT (12-up) If we had our way, every student would have to be enrolled in a ballet class before jazz; however, this course will give them
great ballet basics with a focus on jazz technique.

MUSICAL THEATRE (9-up) Whether it's classical Broadway or more contemporary productions, Musical Theatre is a multiple disciplinary field that
requires a well-rounded performer. This class will focus on choreography that prepares the dancer for theatrical-style work, as well as the actor who is
looking to improve his or her audition.

BALLET/PRE-POINTE TECHNIQUE (9-up) This class is designed for the serious ballet student and is a must for the pointe student. Students are
given a lengthy barre to establish proper body alignment, turnout and increase foot and ankle strength. At this age, students should be dancing in a
ballet class at least twice per week. Students may need to be enrolled in this course more than one year as each student develops differently. Students
receive a conference with the instructor to advise them of their progress, discuss strengths and goals for pointe preparation.

BALLET/POINTE TECHNIQUE (12-up) The longer ballet technique class offers students concentrated barre and center work to continue their ballet
training. Pointe shoes may be worn for a portion or all of the class period but are not a requirement.

MODERN/LYRICAL The expressive combination of choreography and technique with emphasis on emotion, performance and creativity. Invitations are
extended to hard-working and mature ballet students. Students must be enrolled in ballet in order to take Modern/Lyrical.

COMPANY CLASSES For our advanced dancers, we offer Company classes in ballet/pointe technique, modern/lyrical, tap and jazz. These classes
are for students with superior talent, dedication and attendance. These classes are by invitation only and attendance will be monitored.
