Pre-Ballet/Tap/Tumble and Ballet/Tap/Tumble are both taught by Miss Jerri. The shortened ballet segments will follow the general pre-ballet or ballet description and in addition, these classes have Tap and Tumble segments. Dancers begin with tap for 15-20 minutes and then change shoes and transition to 15-20 minutes of ballet followed with tumble. Dancers will learn basic steps and positions in each dance genre (In example, shuffle, ball change, and flap for Tap).

Jazz is known as the one, true American form of dance. An artistic style defined by clean, sharp lines, Jazz can take on many variations, including Pop, Funk, Lyrical, and Broadway. Beginning jazz introduces basic body positions and dance steps, focusing on the feet, legs, and arms. Students focus on learning proper body alignment and execution of dynamic movements.
