Tap & Ballet (Grades 5-8) • Register • View Cart •

Our Level 4 & 5 Tap & Ballet Combo class is designed for upper elementary and middle school dancers who are ready to refine their skills, deepen their technique, and explore more complex choreography. This class offers a balanced and challenging blend of both tap and ballet, providing continued development in rhythm, coordination, musicality, strength, and grace.

Dancers will engage in full warm-ups, dynamic stretching, across-the-floor progressions, ballet barre work, center exercises, and more intricate tap combinations. Emphasis is placed on precision, articulation, and performance quality, with opportunities to explore expressive movement and advanced musical phrasing. Proper terminology and technique are reinforced throughout the class to support each dancer’s growth.

This level is ideal for dancers who have prior experience and are ready to build on a strong foundation in a supportive, focused, and creatively rich environment.

*All dancers will need pink leather ballet slippers and black tap shoes*
