Building Confidence and Moving Forwards…
Our Level 3 classes respect the process of building dance technique in an individual and explorative way. The aim is to give space and time for each dancer to find their strengths and grow in their ability to implement constructive concepts before adding testing into the mix.
All humans can dance, so let’s find the style you love! All classes are held at the WAPA studios and there are only school exams for ballet 3 and contemporary modern 4/5. Our Ballet classes are a fusion of Royal Academy of Dance and Cecchetti styles and our Contemporary Modern is a fusion of Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance, Limon and Horton. Our Acrobatics teacher is trained in safety through the Acrobatics Arts organization. All classes will have kid appropriate music choices and lyrics.
June Show Fees due Nov 1: $95 Costume + $20 photos fees
There are no costume fees for the December Show
Dance is a process to learn and feel in the body. In order to get a full feeling for the art and experience all the different phases of the season (technique, show rehearsals, shows) we do expect that dancers make every effort to complete the full season. Please be sure to review the withdrawal policy on our registration system.
Fees are calculated by hours per week and can be found on the pricing page of this website.
