Raquelle's Dance Studio

A non-recital class introducing young dancers to the basics of dance in a fun, friendly atmosphere. Students develop body control, flexibility, and basic ballet technique through creative movement. Cooperative learning and listening skills are emphasized to prepare children for more structured classes ahead.

The main goal is a happy, fun-loving atmosphere that nurtures a love for dance in each child. We encourage sharing, helping each other, and following directions. Basic ballet, tap, and tumbling skills are all incorporated.

Dancers learn the basics of dance and class etiquette in a gentle, nurturing setting. Children develop correct body alignment, positions, terminology, and proper ballet technique, all while having fun. Basic tumbling is included for strength and flexibility.

We begin to formalize training, concentrating on proper technique, terminology, rhythm, coordination, strength, flexibility, and teamwork. Class covers ballet, tap, and jazz — with students performing jazz in the recital for the first time.

Building on the Fundamentals curriculum with continued training in ballet, tap, and jazz at a higher level of expectation and artistry.

More is expected at the Intermediate level. Students study ballet, tap, and jazz for a well-rounded program. We fine-tune dancers before they advance, challenge them to take ownership of their learning, and expect genuine respect for each other, their teachers, and the art of dance.

Students develop strength, control, balance, and artistic interpretation. Designed for the dedicated student who wants to broaden their experience across different dance forms — and equally welcoming to students looking to build confidence and self-esteem.

Students learn popular styles of dance with age-appropriate music and choreography. We keep a relaxed, fun-filled environment while maintaining proper training — with a focus on strength, coordination, and musicality.
