Petite Academy 3-4s

About

The Petite Academy 3-4s Division is for students 3-4 years old. These classes are designed to be paired together, but students have the option to participate in single weekly sessions if desired.  Each class session length is 1 hour.

There are two performance opportunities throughout the season, which will take place in December and May.  Each class will have individual performances, but students can elect to refrain from the performance elements.

Class Options

3-4s Ballet:

The 3-4s Ballet class consists of basic ballet technique, creative movement exercises, and musicality awareness. We also integrate social skills such as taking turns, cooperation, working with others, and using friendly words and actions. Due to the variances within early childhood development, students are grouped together in classes based upon the level most suitable for their abilities. Dancers will perform in the culminating Spring Performance with this class. 

3-4s Jazz

The 3/4s Jazz class consists of basic jazz technique and movement fundamentals. We incorporate practice of motor skills with attention given to spatial awareness, while also introducing concepts of music, movement sequencing, and rhythm. Dancers will perform in the culminating Spring Performance with this class. 

3-4s Acro

The 3-4s Acro class is designed for 3-4 year old students to tumble, flip, move and jump. Acro for dancers classes consist of new tumbling skills on a mat in a safe and structured environment. This class will help dancers improve balance, flexibility, and self-confidence through acrobatic exercises. This class does not have a performance option.
