THE PRIMARY DIVISION (ages 3 to 7) is an exciting introduction to the world of dance designed especially for the young beginner. The main goal of the primary program is to help the young student enjoy the process of learning dance by keeping it fun and encouraging. Scarves, bean bags, hula hoops, and fans are used to enhance the child's exploration of shape, level, and the daynamics of movement. Tippy Toes is a creative movement class which invites children to dance through the use of fun music, rhythm games, storytelling, and props. Amidst the fun and games, Pre-Ballet 1 introduces basic dance positions and movement skills, and at Pre-Ballet 2, barre work is introduced. Students aged 6 or 7 may also explore introductory level courses in Modern and Tap. Both complement the Ballet program, Modern with its use of free and expressive movement, and Tap, with its emphasis on rhythm making.

Tippy Toes 2 and above participate in the Annual Recital. Tippy Toes 1 will have a separate year-end performance.
