2007-2008 CLASS 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 the 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 (7-9 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 (10-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.
TEAM SPIRIT (13-up) Prepare for dance or cheer tryouts with this fun class that focuses on the needed skills for any
school or team. Personalized for participants with tons of individualized attention, including mock auditions.
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.
JAZZ (8-up) Students will learn jazz technique, including leaps and turns, proper stretching and performance skills
while increasing their flexibility and strength.
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 hardworking and mature ballet students.
