Building a Strong Foundation
With Belamour Ballet, students ages 5 to 16 learn the dance technique, terminology, and skills that provide a strong foundation for future learning. Classes differ from: ballet, tap, and jazz.
Ballet:
Ballet is the foundation of dance training. Students develop strength, coordination, flexibility, and balance by practicing ballet. All dance styles will refer to ballet technique and terminology.
Fundamentals
Tap & Jazz:
In tap classes, students develop rhythm and precision as they learn to move their feet to the beat. Jazz dance training helps students build expression and artistry in their movements.
Advanced Training
Level 2
After mastering the fundamentals of dance, youth continue to develop their skills and have additional training opportunities as they progress through higher level classes. New students with previous dance experience may also be accepted to more advanced level classes after being evaluated by an instructor.
Level 2 students add additional skills and training to the foundation established in their fundamentals class.
Level 3
At the Level 3 or late beginner stage, students devote additional time to their genre of choice.
Levels 4 & 5
Intermediate and advanced dancers at levels 4 and 5 become more focused on their ballet training, still have the options to add additional tap, jazz classes and begin developing the strength for advanced technique in pre-pointe or pointe classes.
