2nd & 3rd Grade Programs
3rd Street Dance
Big dreams start here!
With a focus on fun and friendship, 3rd Street Dance’s 2nd - 3rd Grade Program is the perfect opportunity for the early elementary school-age dancer to grow in confidence as they learn technique basics. They are ready to “Begin and Build” foundations in proper dance technique in addition to the fun of music and movement. Dancers have on stage performance opportunities in our Holiday Showcase and Nutcracker Suite in December, and the annual Spring Recital and Mini Ballet in June (date TBA). We are excited to provide you with our tech-enabled studios. All classes are available in the studio and via live stream to your home(by request).
Ballet is the basic foundation of all dance. It develops discipline and technique that is essential to all forms of dance as well as proper posture, placement and alignment. Ballet benefits students in all areas of dance and is highly recommended for each student.
Jazz will introduce children to a variety of jazz movements, which will become more challenging as the year progresses. In addition children will also learn to count music and memorize simple dance steps and combinations.
Tap will introduce dancers to a variety of tap movements, which will become more challenging as the year progresses. In addition children will also learn to count music and memorize simple tap steps and combinations.
Dance along to the beat in this beginning hip hop class for children. Emphasis is placed on teaching the students basic jazz dance steps while incorporating modern urban movements and freestyle. All music is censored and age appropriate.
Dancers learn the grace and beauty of lyrical dance through beginner combinations and across the floor sequences. **Building Ballet is a requirement for this class.
