For MBT’s youngest students, the Creative Movement Program provides an engaging weekly class to start learning fundamentals of ballet technique and vocabulary. Focusing on gross motor skills, this class is taught using imagery, fun games, and music. 

An extension of the Creative Movement Program, MBT’s Early Ballet Program continues building fundamentals of ballet technique and vocabulary in a fun way. This program begins the transition from gross to fine motor skills. While most of the class is conducted in center exercises, limited barre work begins in Early Ballet 2.

In Mini Hip Hop, students will experience an introduction to hip hop movement, strength building exercises, and creative exploration of movement. Dancers will learn new steps and combinations incorporating rhythm and style.

​

Introductory Dance students have the option to participate in a Winter Collective and Spring Collective in a traditional theater!

​

Performing opportunities: Introductory Dance students enrolled during semester 1 are eligible to perform at the Winter Collective. Introductory Dance students enrolled during semester 2 are eligible to perform at the Spring Collective. There will be a mini-observation week each semester for parents to observe classes. In the instance that we cannot produce planned performances or observation weeks due to health restrictions, videos will be taken in in-studio classes and shared with parents.
