The beginner level incorporates activities like rhythm lessons, sensory exercises, creative movement, across the floor gross-motor practice, choreography and purposeful games, all in a 30-minute class. To ensure that every student is engaged, safe and involved in the activities, there will be a minimum 1:2 assistant-to-student ratio in the beginner level. This class will explore jazz, hip hop, lyrical and creative movement and will perform in the end of the season recital.
