Class Descriptions
DTTA’s Young Dancers
“Pee Wee Dance” (2 year olds)
An introduction to basic ballet and creative movement, this class focuses on children learning to love music and movement. A variety of props are used (princess/prince crowns/wands, tambourines, maracas, scarves, etc.) which creates excitement for our young dancers. Both group and individual activities are incorporated to begin teaching the fundamentals of dance. This is an independent class, but if your child has never been separated before, we work with them to ensure they are comfortable.
“Kids Groove Combo I-II” (3-4 year olds)
A combination of Ballet/Tap/Jazz, this class exposes young dancers to the fundamentals of ballet for the first 30 minutes, then introduces the genres of Tap & Jazz for the second half of class. We focus on terminology & technique, while using fun, appropriate music that keeps students engaged. Props are used to utilize explanation of various terms. Please note-only Level II adds Jazz to the rotation.
Boys/Girls Only Hip Hop Classes
A specialized Hip Hop class, tailored just for our “Boys Only” (3-5 year olds) and “Girls Only” (5-6 year olds) dancers. The fundamentals of Hip Hop are the concentration, exposing dancers to isolations, intro to posing & breaking and essential Hip Hop technique. Only appropriate music is used.
“Ultimate Dancing Feet I-II” (5-6 year olds)
A combination of Ballet/Tap/Jazz, this class challenges beginner dancers by introducing them to the fundamentals of the core genres of dance. Students will receive a technical ballet class for the first 30 minutes of every class, focusing on terminology & technique, and then receive Tap/Jazz training for the remainder of class. We aim to encourage these dancers to experience as many forms of dance as possible, so they are able to choose which they connect with when moving into the older, one hour, single genre classes.

DTTA’s Drama & Theater
Drama (7-10 years old)
An introduction to the dramatic arts, this class focuses on improvisational activities, screenwriting, an understanding of stage direction, voice projection, character development and more. The perfect class for an outgoing student, as well as a student who needs an extra boost of confidence when speaking in social situations. This class properly prepares students for stage plays and performances.
Screen Stars (6th-12th Grade)
In this class students will collaborate together in a safe space for freedom of expression through developing characters, improv and telling stories on camera. These actors will learn and gain the values of preparation, becoming and being the character, developing back story and the moment before, screenplay breakdown, auditioning/casting, and real industry training. Actors will become confident professionals on set and understand their value in the Film & TV industry.
