Combination Classes
Combination classes are offered for ages 2- kindergarten and utilize the techniques of ballet and tap to instill the foundation of proper placement from ballet with the musicality foundation from tap. Each combination class begins with 20 minutes of ballet technique and ends with 20 minutes of tap. Combination classes utilize hear, say, do style teaching for diversity of teaching while engaging students to watch and model after the teacher and the teacher’s assistant. Combination classes require color specific leotard, pink or tan tights, pink ballet shoes and tan (or black) tap shoes. There is no prerequisite for combination classes, though dancers who have danced in the earlier age group, have a sense of confidence that allows them to achieve earlier successes in the next class.
