Students in this 90 minute combo class continue to practice ballet and tap and are introduced to the world of jazz. Ballet teaches students strength, grace and discipline while tap teaches musicality and timing. Though there are many forms of jazz dance, our style is rooted in ballet technique and incorporates syncopated rhythm, broken movements, isolations, and tricks. These styles create a great foundation which is why we encourage all of our students to take a ballet combo. Flexibility becomes even more important as students get older and try more advanced movement so we put a little more emphasis on stretching at this level as well.

Students who are in the Level 3 class are also invited to take a Acro, Pom, Musical Theater and Hip Hop. If taken in addition to the ballet/tap combo, these classes are offered at a discounted rate.

This class is $880 for the year (or $110 per month for 8 months). This price includes weekly rehearsals from September-May and three recital costumes.

——

*Age/Experience: Students in this class are 9-11 years old. Dancers must turn 9 before Sept 1, and will spend two or three years at this level. No experience required, but dancers who are brand new to dance may benefit from a private lesson or two to catch up on the basics.

*Dress code: Leotards are required for every class along with a pair of tights, fitted dance shorts, or a ballet skirt. Undergarments should not be worn under dancewear. Hair must be pulled up off of the neck in a ponytail, braid or bun.

*Shoes: Ballet shoes, tan tap shoes, and tan slip-on jazz shoes are required for this class. Shoes should be purchased at Bobby’s Dancewear so they match for the spring performance!

*5-12 students per class.
