Dancers will have the opportunity to work with guest choreographers and be required to participate in ballet examinations every year.

PRE-COMPETITIVE PROGRAM

Fouetté Academy of Dance Pre-Competitive program is designed to promote a step up from recreational dance towards competitive dance at a reasonable and affordable addition to their regular classes This is a transitionary program for dancers who have realized that they are passionate about dance and want to become more involved.

The pre-competitive program provides students with well-rounded dance training from 6-8 hours twice a week in Ballet, Jazz, Acro, Contemporary, Lyrical, and Hip Hop. Pre-competitive students get to compete at 3-4 competitions a year under the pre-competitive category as well as perform at our Annual Gala recital in June. Our award-winning staff and faculty are dedicated to helping your child reach their fullest potential and level of success. Through an intense training program, dancers will be conditioned to build a competitive skill set, focusing on stretch and strength, technique, musicality, and choreography, to help them on their dance journey. The pre-competitive program is a great opportunity for kids to grow their love for dance, enjoy a competitive environment, and become a part of a competitive family.

RECREATIONAL PROGRAM

The goal of the recreational program is to provide dance lessons for students of all levels of ability and age.

The recreational program not only teaches basic dance principles and terminology, but it also helps develop a healthy body and positive attitude. We provide dancers with an enticing fun atmosphere while enhancing their skill levels. We pride ourselves on giving our recreational dancers the tools and ability to train at a prestigious level to eventually qualify for our pre-competitive and competitive programs. We see the potential in all dancers!

Ballet improves strength, flexibility, and balance while increasing the student’s focus and gracefully presenting themselves.

Students will learn skills such as rolls, cartwheels, handstands, and walkovers and will progress to more advanced skills such as round-offs, front and back handsprings, and aerials.
