This division is designed for dancers ages 7 through 9, with two levels to support each student’s growth:

Level B – For beginners or those new to formal technique classes

Level A – For returning dancers or those with prior experience in foundational training. Evaluation and placement required.

This two-level structure ensures students are placed where they can feel confident, challenged, and successful.

Primary Division students may enroll in the following styles:

Ballet – Continued development of posture, alignment, and classical vocabulary

Modern – Introduction to grounded movement, improvisation, and expressive range

Contemporary – Blending technical structure with fluidity and storytelling

Jazz – High-energy combinations, musicality, and stylized movement

Tap – Building rhythm, clarity, and coordination through percussive footwork

Hip Hop – Focused on rhythm, groove, and confidence in movement

Acrobatics – Developing strength, flexibility, and control through age-appropriate tumbling skills including handstands, bridges, cartwheels, and balance work

Students are encouraged to explore multiple styles as they begin to discover their unique interests and strengths.

The Primary Division emphasizes:

Strong foundational technique across a range of styles

Increased focus, discipline, and classroom etiquette

Development of physical strength, flexibility, and musical awareness

Creative expression and movement-based problem solving

Building confidence in performance and peer collaboration

All Primary Division dancers are invited to participate in our year-end concert, where they can celebrate their progress and share their joy for dance onstage.
