Ballet Babies (Ages 3-5)
View info

Ballet babies is an introduction to ballet dance for ages 3-5 years old (please see age requirements for weekend classes versus weekday). Classes focus on age-appropriate fundamentals of ballet including but not limited to flexibility, strength, poise, and grace. A fun filled 40 minutes, this class engages the child in dance activities incorporating music and props along with the startings of exploration of dance technique and ballet terminology. This is an independent class from our grown ups, but for the last class, we will offer a final viewing in the dance studio where our adults watch us perform what we have learned

Broadway Tots (Ages 3-5)
View info

Broadway TOTS will focus on the foundations of musical theatre in a fun, entertaining, and imaginative way! Every week, we begin every class with songs and games to train our tots about warming up in acting, voice, and dance. The last section of each class consists of learning a music and movement piece to age appropriate Broadway tunes, to eventually create a showcase of our very own. Though we do not cast specific roles in our show, we hope that this class allows for our tots to aspire to the next big kid step, the year around CTPC Jr. theatre program! This is an independent class from our grown ups, but for the last class, we will have a final viewing where we allow adults to watch and cheer us on in the black box theatre of the Gordon.
