The Ballet class furthers your child's understanding of ballet fundamentals and adds barre work, floor routines, and improvisation. Saladeen starts with basic mambo and merengue dance steps, and incorporates simple rhythm instruments and techniques. Level III introduces more advanced soft shoe techniques and hard shoe dancing. No previous dance training is required. Athletic shoes, comfortable apparel, and knee pads are recommended.
Students dance in bare feet and leather-soled shoes.
Girls may wear a full dance skirt. If your child is ready for a fun, exhilarating new dance, they can join Idy as he teaches basic rhythms and moves from West Africa. Boys and girls will jump, kick, and move to the beat of the live djembe and dun-dun, traditional drums used in the dances of Senegal, Nigeria and Ivory Coast.
