Kids Dance Classes in Casper WYoming_edited.jpg

Ballet: Ballet classes begin at age three. Classes for dancers approximately three to seven years of age are most popular as combo classes (ballet/tumbling is the most frequently requested combo as it gives the dancers a superior base in body control technique that translates easily into other styles). Combo classes are 1 hour for ages three through four, and 1 1/2 hours for ages five through seven. Taking only the ballet section or only the tumbling section of a combo is also an option. Ballet classes for dancers approximately eight to eleven years of age will be one hour in length. Classes for dancers ages twelve and up will last for 1 ½ hours.

Tap: Tap classes begin at age three. Classes for dancers ages three and four will be 30 min in length. Classes for ages five through seven will be 45 minutes in length. Classes for ages eight and up are one hour in length. Combo classes are also available.

Jazz: Jazz begins at age three. Jazz is a very technically strong dance form similar to ballet in all aspects, except it is generally performed to a different style of music and has a wider range of motion. Jazz class lengths are the same as tap class lengths. Combo classes are also available.

Lyrical: Lyrical can be described as a combination of ballet and jazz, and is more interpretive. Lyrical classes start at age five. For dancers interested in a lyrical class we recommend, but do not require a very strong technical class first such as ballet, jazz, ballet technique, or turns and technique. Lyrical classes are 45 minutes in length through age seven. They are one hour in length for ages eight and up.

Hip Hop: Hip hop is a fun, upbeat discipline that consists largely of freestyle dance and acrobatic-type tricks. Participants will learn roboting, tutting, bugaloo, breakdancing, popping, locking, and more! Classes begin at age three. Hip hop classes are the same length as tap classes. Combo classes are also available.

Pre-Pointe: Important note: Pre-Pointe does not guarantee an admission to pointe. Admission to pointe is based solely upon demonstration of proper preparation. Pre-pointe is available for ages ten and up, and is focused on training the proper muscles for pointe. One of the most important factors for admission to pointe is development of foot/ankle strength. Dancers grow and mature at different rates and have different foot and bone structures. Pre-pointe provides professional and specific exercises to maximize likelihood of admission to pointe. It is also recommended, but not required for dancers in tap and Irish step as they both incorporate the same muscles in similar ways.

Pointe: Pointe is the most difficult and serious of all of the dance forms offered at Beautiful Feet. Dancers must be evaluated for pointe. For more information regarding pointe please see director, Julie Oliver.

Irish Step (hard shoe and soft shoe): Irish step dance is a traditional cultural form of dancing, made popular in America by Michael Flatley and the Riverdance Troupe. Irish hard shoe is similar to tap dancing, but with a different style. Irish soft shoe is similar to ballet and lyrical, but once again, in a different technique manner. Ceili dancing is similar to English Country Dancing – social partner dancing. We highly recommend that dancers interested in Irish step enroll in soft shoe first, or soft shoe and hard shoe simultaneously. Irish step begins at age three. Classes for dancers under eight are 45 minutes in length. Eight and up, classes are one hour in length. If you prefer, there is a hard shoe/soft shoe class available that is either one hour, or an hour and a half in length, (depending on age) divided equally between hard shoe and soft shoe.

Combos: Combo classes are offered for dancers ages three through seven. They are 1 hour in length for dancers under five. Classes are 1 ½ hours in length for dancers five through seven and are evenly divided between the two styles of your choice (ballet/tap, ballet/tumbling, ballet/hip hop, ballet/jazz, hip hop/tap, hip hop/tumbling). Ballet/Tumbling is particularly popular at Beautiful Feet as it combines the two class styles which afford the most body control to the student. There is also an Irish step soft/hard shoe combo class offered.

Musical Theatre: Think back to the golden days of movie musicals! Gene Kelly! Fred Astaire! Ginger Rogers! This dance class focuses specifically on the styles of dance made famous by the old musicals and also has an emphasis on facial expressions and acting through your dance performance! Classes are 45 minutes for ages five through seven and 1 hour for ages eight and up.

Sports Performance (Strength, Agility, Balance, and Flexibility): Maximize your athletic abilities, no matter what the sport! This class focuses on flexibility, strength and toning of muscles, balance, etc. Perfect for figure skating, football, basketball, hockey, and of course, dance!!! Classes begin at age seven and are 45 minutes to an hour in length, depending on the students' experience, current athletic abilities, and age.

Ballet Technique and Turns/Leaps: Professional ballet dancers spend hours at the barre and more time perfecting their minor technical skills than larger movements because the more correct the technique, the easier the larger movements will be. This class gives our ballet dancers the ability to really hone in on those foundational skills because they will need them! Classes will also feature special attention to turns and leaps, honing in on proper technique. Classes are 1 1/2 hours in length.

Tumbling: Classic acrobatic training! Classes begin at age three and will be 30 minutes in length for dancers three and four, and 45 minutes for dancers five through seven. Tumbling classes for dancers eight and up will be one hour in length for intermediate level and one and a half hours in length for advanced tumblers.

Contemporary: Somewhat of a cross between lyrical and modern, contemporary is abstract with some isolations and tricks, while still holding to the basic foundation of technique that has held strong through the many generations and styles of dance. Classes are 45 minutes for ages five through seven and 1 hour for ages eight and up.

Modern: This abstract/interpretive form of dance class will be one hour in length for advanced dancers. It may also be available for younger dancers upon request.

English Country Dancing: In the days of "Pride and Prejudice" in Regency England, dancing was a beautiful, refined, and wholesome way to spend an evening and meet new people. Let's return to this beautiful tradition. Come "have a ball" with us. Yes, we're serious! Let's go to the ball! English country is open to dancers ages twelve and up. English country is a social form of dance and will not be featured in performances. However, we will occasionally have a costume ball where we can practice the techniques we have learned!

Partner Dancing (Ballroom): Partner dancing class includes swing, waltz, two-step, country line and polka! Open to dancers, ages 12 and up. Please register with a partner if possible, however, this is not required.

Boy Ballet: Yes, you read that correctly! At Beautiful Feet we are delighted to offer an all boys' ballet class. Of course, we focus more on the athletic and masculine parts of the art in this class than we do in our regular classes. The boys at Beautiful Feet are very much like brothers and always welcome new guys to the “clan”. We do all sorts of enjoyable masculine dances such as staged sword fights and superhero battles! Come join in the fun! Are you tough enough to do ballet???

Pas de Deux: Pas de Deux is French for “step of the two” – the ballet term for partnering between a male and a female. This class focuses largely on lift technique for the girls being lifted, and for the guys lifting. It also focuses on working together as a team.
