The Fine Arts Association’s dance program allows students to enter at any level and/or style appropriate to both ability and age . Students new to Fine Arts with previous study in dance will be scheduled for a placement assessment by appointment with a dance faculty member . Students are evaluated annually to continue proper placement in a challenging class setting . Please note: ages are guidelines for each dance level .

New to the dance program at The Fine Arts Association? Visit www.fineartsassociation.org/classes/dance.html for “New Student Info” which includes helpful suggestions on obtaining dancewear, etc .

Young dancers are offered creative movement and ballet/tap combination classes which provide a basic foundation of dance terminology and movements . Using familiar locomotor and non-locomotor steps, students develop increased coordination and spatial awareness . After studying at these levels, it is typical for a student to continue their dance education in classical ballet, tap and/or jazz . Serious dancers should consider pursuing study in all three styles as the demands of the profession require versatility . For tap, jazz and modern students, parallel study in ballet is strongly recommended as dancers refine placement/alignment while performing demanding stylized choreography . Students studying in the upper levels will develop technical proficiency, style and performance qualities as they are challenged by advanced vocabulary and complex combinations . Ages are approximate guidelines. Students are placed in class based on experience and current ability.

Dance classes (except for Yoga classes) will perform in either the Early Childhood Dance Showcase, the Junior Recital OR the Senior Recital . These will be held at Andrews Osborne Academy .
