Youth Dance Classes
Our youth classes prepare your budding performer to continue developing their skill set in various genres of dance. We continue to offer non-competitive, recreational classes in Ballet & HipHop, Ballet & Tap, Ballet & Jazz or Acrobatics classes, following the renowned European curriculum, Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (I.S.T.D).
6-8yr classes (65 min)
Ballet & taP, Ballet & hip-hop, or Acrobatics
Our 6-8yr Ballet combo classes teach more advanced vocabulary in each style, creating a solid dance foundation and a serious approach to their technical development - while still having fun in a safe and supportive environment! We highly encourage & implement proper dance class etiquette for starting at this age (arrive to class on time, wear proper dance attire including tights, leotard and shoes with hair pulled up into a bun or ponytail, etc).
Our Acrobatics class focuses on building the correct technique and skills to perform tumbling tricks & sequences on a mat. Learn to cartwheel, handstand, walkover, improve strength and flexibility, and more!
*Tip: Adding a class like Drama & Musical Theatre rounds out performance training with dancing, singing and acting!
7-10yr & 9-12yr classes (75 min)
Ballet & Tap, Ballet & HipHop, ballet & jazz, or acrobatics
These classes implement a more serious and technical approach to various styles of dance for older kiddos - while still having fun in a safe and supportive environment! We adhere to proper dance class etiquette at this age (arrive to class on time, wear proper dance attire including tights, leotard and shoes with hair pulled up into a bun or ponytail, encourage stretching & practice at home, etc).
Our Acrobatics classes at this age focus on more advanced tricks & sequences on the mat. Master cartwheels, round-offs, walkovers, limbers, backbends, aerials and beyond while improving your strength and flexibility!
*Tip: We recommend taking 2 Ballet combo classes a week (so that you get Ballet twice a week, and learn a third genre of dance)! Or, adding a class like Drama & Musical Theatre rounds out performance training with dancing, singing and acting!
“When I moved to Sherman Oaks, one of the first things I did was look for something for my then 7 year old daughter to take part in at weekends. Long story short, for the last 3 years, my daughter has been taking classes here consistently. She absolutely loves her hip hop and drama classes. So grateful to have came across Blue Starz. An experience my daughter and I will cherish forever.”
