Pre Dance

IBT AcademyPre-Dance class is designed to help the beginning ballet students to learn the essentials of ballet at a relaxed, comfortable pace. Basic skills of ballet, tap, and jazz will be used to develop child's body awareness and coordination, and to promote large muscle development.

Our Pre-Danceclass provides a sound foundation for the transition to Beginner Ballet I training. Children will learn the joy of movement with the emphasis on rhythm, coordination and flexibility. At the same time, interaction with other children their age in a creative positive environment of dance exploration will help them to develop an understanding, and eventually an appreciation of human diversity.

Classes are 1 hour long.

Pre-Dancestudents will participate in the school's end of the year recital. In addition, two observation classes will be held in the studio during regular class time twice a year. At these times parents and family members will be invited to observe, videotape and photograph their children.
