Our Comprehensive Curriculum We offer a wide variety of classes from ballet and tap to jazz and modern. Our class schedule can accommodate the beginner, the advanced and all dancers in between. We have classes for the young and the young-​at-​heart! Our variety is divided into the following categories: Pre-​School Division This dance program is designed for student ages 3 to 6. Classes create an interest in dance, develop basic rhythms, ear training, coordination and motor skills. Gradually novelty routines, classical ballet steps, terminology and tap are introduced. Children’s Division Formal classes begin in classical ballet, tap and jazz when the student has reached six years of age or is in the first grade in school. Classes are graded according to ability, age and experience. Teen And Adult Division A complete graded system in classical ballet, tap, jazz and modern is offered for all levels of dancers in this division. These classes are progressive for those who desire to devote time to dance. We also have classes designed for the beginner who wants to have fun and enjoy ballet, tap, modern, jazz, hip hop, modern lyrical and yoga. Musical Theatre As we continue to meet the ever-​changing needs of young dancers, SLAD now offers this innovative class for training young dancers for the stage.
