School Age Programs

At Barron Dance, our School Age Program is tailored for students in 1st grade and older, offering a dynamic and challenging environment where dancers can grow in technique, artistry, and confidence. From foundational classes to advanced training, our program supports each dancer’s journey—whether they are exploring dance for fun or pursuing it more seriously. With experienced instructors and a variety of styles including ballet, jazz, tap, and contemporary, we aim to inspire the next generation of dancers to reach their full potential, both on and off the stage.

Tap/Ballet I

7 YRS OLD – 14 YRS OLD | RATIO – 12:1

Our School Age Tap/Ballet I class combines two classic styles to build strong dance foundations while keeping class fun and engaging! Dancers will develop ballet technique through positions, barre and center work, jumps, turns, balance, and graceful movement, while tap introduces rhythm, timing, coordination, and footwork through energetic exercises and routines. Along the way, dancers will build strength, musicality, creativity, and confidence, with opportunities to perform in our Holiday Semi-Recital in the winter and Annual Recital in June!
