Tiny Tappers (Ages 3-5)
View info

Ages 3-5 years old (This class will meet Mondays from 3:30-4:10 PM, April 17th-June 5th)
Tiny Tappers is an introduction to tap dance for ages 3-5 years old. Similar to all of our preschool age dance classes, our tapper class focuses on age-appropriate fundamentals in tap dancing. These fundamentals include but are not limited to rhythm, timing, musical awareness, and strength. A fun filled 40 minutes, this class engages the child in activities, games, and dances that incorporate music and props, as well as the rudimentary exploration of tap dance technique and its specific 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. Please note that tap shoes are required to be worn for this class.

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.

Basic ballet introduces dancers to the structure of a traditional ballet class including basic barre, continuing with the understanding and execution of ballet terminology, as well as further improvement upon alignment. They will be challenged to retain choreography, as they will also be introduced to center work. The perfect continuation of Ballet Babies! This is an independent class from our grownups, but for the last class, we will offer a final sharing where our adults watch us perform what we have learned.

Broadway Jazz (Ages 8-12)
View info

Ages 8-12 years old (This class will meet Mondays from 4:45-5:45 PM, April 17th-June 5th)
If your child has been in several productions with CTPC, has some previous dance training, and/or loves musical theatre or jazz dance, this is the perfect fit. This class focuses on strengthening stamina, flexibility, musicality, character development within a dance, and retention of choreography. In this packed hour of dance, class will begin warmups and then transition to across the floor, center combination work, and end with a cool down stretch. In this open level class, it is recommended that your child have minimal dance experience but is not required. Each week, we will collectively warmup and learn an abbreviated dance combination so that concluding our classes, our students will be able to show what they have learned with a final sharing.
