Ages 3 - 5 years

PRE-division

Classes in the Pre Division at CDA focus on fostering children’s love of movement and building a strong foundation for future study.

The fundamentals of music and dance are introduced through two different styles and vocabulary – Ballet and either Tap or Jazz. We incorporate creative movement, gross motor skills, and basic steps to develop proper posture, balance, rhythm, and basic classroom etiquette.

Students’ natural love of dance is developed as they gain coordination, musicality, and self-confidence.

PERFORMANCE

Our Pre-Ballet students are invited to join for a supportive, in-studio performance experience, with full costumes, guest performers from the upper levels, and refreshments afterward.

Each student’s progress is affirmed when they are able to demonstrate what they have learned throughout the year. Dance is a performing art – taking this opportunity to celebrate the students’ accomplishments is an important part of their dance education.
