Youth Dance

An introduction to ballet dance, 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 beginnings of exploration of dance technique and ballet terminology.

A 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. We hope that this class allows for our tots to aspire to the next big kid step, the CTPC Mini program for ages 5-6.

Introducing dancers to the structure of a traditional ballet class including basic barre, this class continues 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!

In this high energy class, dancers will focus on self expression and all elements of hip hop. This includes freestyle, popping/locking, and basic breakdancing. These basic techniques will help your dancer build confidence, strength, and balance. In this open level class, it is recommended that your child have minimal dance experience but is not required.

Guided by professional Habimah Artists In Residence, campers attend daily workshops in performing and visual arts, where they enhance their skills explore new horizons, and experience the wonders of the arts and the warmth of a supportive community.
