Dance Classes and Dress Code

Petite Pearls is a music and movement class designed for our youngest independent dancers, ages 18 months–3 years.

Dancers will explore creative movement, locomotor skills, and age-appropriate dance technique through imaginative games and guided movement.

Pom dance is an energetic and dynamic style of dance that places emphasis on precise and synchronised arm movements, formations, jumps, and skills. It is characterised by its use of poms, which dancers hold in their hands throughout the routine. The choreography in pom dance is typically fast-paced, visually appealing, and filled with high-energy movements. Pom dance incorporates elements from various dance styles, including jazz and hip-hop. Dancers often integrate jazz-inspired technique such as kicks, turns, leaps, and extensions, combined with hip-hop-inspired isolations and body movements. This fusion of styles creates a unique and vibrant performance that captivates both dancers and audiences alike.

Dress Code: Athletic shorts or leggings, fitted shirt, sneakers, poms
