Dance Classes for Children 3.5- 15 years olds
Dance classes are a combination of functional movement or gymnastic basics for instance cartwheels, handstands, and bridges as well as traditional dance and acrobatics which include silks. Janine increases the technique required for the children as they move up in class or in age. The classes include ballet basics, modern/contemporary movement, and a little jazz and hip-hop for fun for the kids. Classes focus on gymnastic moments using foundational equipment. We cannot be all things for families, so we encourage children to take additional ballet classes or other gymnastics elsewhere as a part of their all round training. What Janine provides is foundation and and the kids grow she teaches expression. Without the basic strength, flexibility and coordination, no proper technique can be sustained. So no matter the level of your young mover, they can all benefit from the body conditioning, feeling and movement provided in these classes.
PLEASE REMEMBER:
When you sign up you are committing till the end of the semester. 16 weeks in the Fall is one semester and the spring is one semester. If you choose to miss a lesson there are no discounts. I run the studio like any dance studio and parents commit to a semester of classes. This is good for the students to gain some discipline and practice. It also gives kids a chance to make friends and get to know one another and grow together.
please remember to sign a waiver at the first lesson.
Parents should drop off students and do not stay in the studio. Siblings are welcome to play on the grass outside the studio or the trampoline and zip line. Siblings can pet the dogs and cats but they need to STAY AWAY from all farm animals like chicken, bunnies, horses, and snakes. Thank you.
Times and ages:
3:45 pm to 4:30pm: Movement Explorers (Ages 3.5 – 5) we work with kids to explore movement and enjoy playing and dancing together- we do basics in dance and gymnastics and help the kids gain strength and coordination.
4:30 pm to 5:30 pm: Moving into Dance and Gym (Ages 6-9) this is 30 min of dance and 30 min of gymnastics and silks. The class focuses on the kids combining fun with good Tecknique amd strength building.
5:30pm – 6:30pm: Foundations in Dance and Gymnastics (Ages 10 – 15) This class is 30 min dance and 30 min Gymnastics. The focus is more on technique and we do some real movement choreography. A mini test will also be held at the end of the fall semester to see if I add the additional class and move the students to the next level.

Equine yoga class are held in the spring, summer and fall only. The yoga class is held outside with the horses. The first 4 classes include time getting to know how to do yoga on the ground with the horses.

The wonderful thing with equine yoga is to see the effect of your focus and meditation on the horses.
