Class Descriptions
Vibe Performing Arts has classes for all ages, from toddlers to adults!
Some benefits of dance include:
Preschool – Primary Ages
Our preschool-primary dance program is designed to foster a passion for dance. At Vibe, our classes are taught by experienced professionals who understand the challenges of teaching young dancers. Our patient and caring instructors are committed to helping students develop their elementary movement and coordination skills while keeping distractions at bay. Putting your child in a Vibe dance class is an excellent way to promote holistic growth. Our youngest dancers learn the fundamentals of dance in a positive and enjoyable environment, where we focus on teaching manners, rhythms, patterns, body awareness, and confidence. Our classes are tailored to each student's ability and experience, and we use age as a guideline. However, we assess each child's skill level to determine which class is best suited for them. At Vibe Performing Arts, starting your child's dance training with us is a wise decision for any dance parent.
PRE-DANCE (Ages 3-5)
Our Pre-Dance class is specifically designed for young first-time dancers, typically ages 3 to 5, depending on the individual. Our dancers will learn the foundational movements that teach them rhythm, counting, shapes, and sharing. We incorporate different dance styles, such as ballet, tap, and Jazz. Our class focuses on proper technique through creative dances and imagination. We teach patience and discipline by having the class work together and giving individual attention while going across the floor. This fast-paced class allows kids to learn essential motor and social skills while having fun. Ballet and Jazz will focus on basic positions, warm-ups, and movement across the floor. Tap will focus on coordinating hand and foot actions while learning basic tap steps.
Students should have a leotard, tights, pink ballet shoes, and black tap shoes to prepare for dance class. We suggest using transition tights for the best experience.
NEXT STEP (Ages 5-6)
