Parent and Me
1-3 Years
Our Parent & Me class is all about introducing little ones to the world of dance in a way that feels comfortable! Parent and child duos will learn basic ballet and gymnastics skills together as well as play silly games and learn to feel comfortable in dance clothes, the dance room, and with their (hopefully) future dance teachers. Parent & Me classes are recommended for children too young to join a regular dance class or children with separation anxiety/nerves. Masks are required for adults and required for children 2 and up.
Ballet and Tumble
3-4 Years
Ballet and Tumble classes are non-performing classes that focus on early motor skill development and bringing the joy of dance to young children. They have adorable and simple sets of ballet and tumbling skills that are learned throughout the year and demonstrated at the end of each semester. These classes are fun and easygoing, filled with games and tutus! These classes will require ballet shoes and active wear. Masks are required.
Tap, Ballet, and Tumble
3-6 Years
Ballet, Tap, & Tumble classes bring the perfect combination of dancing basics to young children. Some classes will be performing if the age range specifies age 4 and higher. As the dancers get older, the BTT combo classes become more technical and focused on skills and stage presence, but with an element of that fun that children always need! These classes will require ballet and tap shoes as well as active wear. Masks are required.
Tap, Ballet, and Jazz
5-12 Years
Ballet, Tap, and Jazz is a technique focused pre-intermediate dance class for young dancers who are serious about learning to express themselves through dance. These classes are performing classes, and tend to dedicate a portion of each class on learning and perfecting their routines. BTJ combo classes are great precursors to continuing a students dance career with JWSD, and are highly recommended for any child 6 and older. Masks are required.

Hip Hop
5-12 Years

Gymnastics

Gymnastics classes are focused on developing standard tumbling skills as well as modified tumbling skills for dancers. There is a focus on stretching, gross motor-skill development, and conditioning.
