Children's Division (Dance Basics 3/4, 5/6 - Level A, B, C) emphasizes creative expressive response to
music and the development of strength, poise and group interaction skills. Special attention is given to the
physical, emotional and mental developmental needs of our youngest students. In young children the muscles
and bones are delicate and must not be over-stressed during their formative years. Our faculty, under the
expert guidance of director Mr. Conway carefully watches for proper, healthy alignment in the legs, lower
back and stomach. A graduated, progressive approach to muscle effort insures the proper development of
young bodies. The levels in this division gradually introduce students to the balletic syllabus and prepares

to further development and a lifelong love and appreciation of dance, movement and the arts.a

Boys' Division (Boys A - Boys 5) We are proud to present our program just for boys aged 7-18. The arts,
dance and especially ballet have often been regarded by boys in the united States to be a girls only endeavor.
However, once a boy has experienced a ballet class he learns that dance is definitely not for "sissies" and learns
the elegance and gentlemanly deportment that are part of the classical arts. The boy's class(es) are geared
toward a male dancer's technique and abilities, requiring focus, strength, stamina, discipline and effort. Boys
develop the physicality necessary to move with grace and strength in equal measure. Motor skills improve,
enhancing all physical activities. Self discipline and respect for others is stressed, and a love and respect for the
art of dance begins to develop. In a boys-only class, young men delight in an atmosphere where they can
interact with each other in a challenging and disciplined setting, without feeling self-conscious. Whether or not
the male student pursues dance as a career, the mental, physical and social skills he acquires in the ballet class
will benefit him throughout his life. He will also have the knowledge and experience to appreciate the value of
the arts in today's world.

Folklorico heavily influenced by Flamenco has its origins in Mexico. This
beautiful ethnic style of dance often represents the state in which it comes
from. The style of dress, the shoes performed in and the use of the legs
and arms vary from state to state often telling a story or the dances origin.

Scottish Highland Dancing is a technically challenging ethnic style of dance
originating from Scotland. It is for students seven and older who desire to
learn the authentic style of dance performed by the clans of Scotland usually
performed to the bagpipes. Heavily influenced by ballet from across the
English channel it also shares similarities with Irish step dance at times. This
style of dance is not to be confused with Scottish Country dancing which is
totally different. Scottish Country is much more relaxed and more like
square dancing.
