Dancers thrive as they learn more challenging technique in our Jade Level classes! Children establish a solid understanding of ballet concepts and technique as they progress. Dancers are so proud of themselves as they begin learning and mastering more difficult movements. Students feel supported by their encouraging teacher who focuses on positive corrections and a “you can do it” attitude. They will rise to the challenge as their teacher holds high standards for technique, placement, and behavior.

Dancers will focus on ballet in this level, but they will still do some tap, focusing on rhythms and patterns to reinforce the musicality they are working on in the ballet portion of class.

This class prepares dancers for the next level, the Amethyst Level.

We are currently accepting new students to join us mid-season. As classes began in August, dancers will need to start with an Introductory Package so the teacher can make sure they’re up to joining an ongoing class. Dance is based on repetition, so new dancers should catch up to their classmates quickly.

The Introductory Package includes 2 classes and a prop bag for your dancer.

At ABC’s of Dance, our goal is to make sure our billing is as clear and simple as possible!

During the Dance Season, we hold two beautiful performances during Winter and Spring at the beautiful Aratani Theatre Downtown. Our pricing is inclusive and includes not only your dancer’s class tuition, but also their costume and recital fees to make your life easier. Our families love our Super Simple Pricing!

Performing in front of an audience is a special and thrilling moment for dancers. Their confidence soars as they get to show off everything they have learned in class! During a normal Dance Season, we hold two beautiful performances during Winter and Spring at the beautiful Aratani Theatre Downtown. This Season, we are holding our Winter performance in-studio and have the goal of going back to the Aratani Theatre for our Spring performance.

Normally, our pricing would be inclusive and include not only your dancer’s class tuition, but also their costume and recital fees as well to make your life easier. Our families have always loved our Super Simple Pricing! Due to the ever-changing situation and uncertainty of holding a live performance, we did not include recital fees in our pricing this Season.

We are expecting to be able to return to the theatre for the Spring, so there will be a performance package to cover your dancer’s beautiful costume and other performance fees.

We will communicate all performance information and fees as soon as we are able to. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

For girls:
Garnets wear a beautiful dark red ballet dress, while Jades will love their dark blue-green ballet dress. We stock our uniforms in most sizes, and will have it along with a pair of tights available for your dancer – no need to rush to a dancewear store!

Your dancer will also need pink ballet shoes and black Mary-Jane style tap shoes, which we have for sale at the studio. They can also be purchased at a dancewear store or online. Please do not purchase different colored shoes than those listed above.
Hair also must be pulled back in a ponytail or bun.

For boys:
Boys wear the traditional white shirt and black pants, which will be ordered for your dancer upon their enrollment so they have a special uniform too!

Your dancer will need black ballet shoes and black Oxford style tap shoes. We do not carry these in our boutique, but they can easily be purchased at a dancewear store (such as The Dance Store on Robertson) or online.

Our 2021-2022 Dance Season begins August 23, 2021 and ends June 12, 2022. Enrollment in our Ballet Programs is for the full Dance Season.

Performing in front of an audience is a special and thrilling moment for dancers. Their confidence soars as they get to show off everything they have learned in class! Our goal this year is to hold a Winter performance in-studio and to go back to the Aratani Theatre for a Spring performance. There may be a small costume fee for our Winter performance so your dancer can feel special for their performance. If we are able to return to the theatre for the Spring, there will be a performance package to cover your dancer’s beautiful costume and other performance fees. As soon as we have confirmed a Spring performance is happening, we will communicate all performance information and fees. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

New for our 2021-2022 Dance Season – we are introducing beautiful uniforms so your dancer feels part of the class from their very first day. Dancers wear a different color each year to match their Jewel Ballet Program level!
We will also have special days throughout the year where your dancer can wear something special to class!

For girls:
Pearls wear an adorable pink ballet dress, while Opals will love their beautiful blue ballet dress. We stock our uniforms in most sizes, and will have it along with a pair of tights available for your dancer – no need to rush to a dancewear store!

Your dancer will also need pink ballet shoes and black Mary-Jane style tap shoes, which we have for sale at the studio. They can also be purchased at a dancewear store or online. Please do not purchase different colored shoes than those listed above.

*While restrictions are loosening, we are still cautious so we can do our part to prevent the spread of illnesses. Here’s what we’re currently doing to help keep our students, families, and staff safe:

-Masks are optional for all students.
-Teachers will wear masks during class.
-All team members are fully vaccinated and up to date with boosters.
-Parents stay outside the building unless accompanying a dancer in the Dance with Me class.
-Students use hand sanitizer upon entering and before exiting the building.
-Classes are kept small to prevent overcrowding.
-No props are shared between students.
-The dance floor and all surfaces are cleaned daily.

Due to our upcoming Winter Performance, enrollment is currently closed. Enrollment will re-open in January for classes with space available for new students. New families can save their spot to join a class in January by clicking on the “Waitlist” link next to their preferred class and filling out the form. We will reach out to let you know when your child can begin!

Our curriculum for each level is an accelerated year-long program that has been developed specifically for each age group. It is important to keep dancers in classes meant for their age group to keep them challenged without overwhelming them. It is also important to remember that students joining mid-season have missed several months of class.

If your child is close to the required age, such as within a month or so, contact us and we will discuss further and have your child come in for an introductory class. However, if they are more than a month or so too young for the class, we will recommend an alternative class more appropriate for their age and development.

Absolutely! We offer an introductory package so your dancer can experience our classes before you commit to the school year. We know your dancer will love it here, but intro classes are a great way for dancers, parents, and teachers to come together and find the right class for your child.
