Classes and Registration
Miss Charity's Shuffles and Chaines Dance Academy offers Early Childhood and Development Dance Programs. Students are placed according to age, ability and maturity level. Our number one priority is the student’s learning experience.
The Early Childhood Program (ages three through 1st grade) offers age appropriate instruction in rhythm and technique laying the foundation for transition into the Development Program. Dancers MUST be three prior to June 1, 2019 in order to enroll.
The Development Program ( 2nd grade and up) features a unique graded curriculum, which allows the dancer to progress in technique and performance.
Early Childhood Classes
Preschool Schedule
Young dancers will learn rhythm and basic ballet and tap skills with proper technique for their age through song and dance. Dancers MUST be 3 years of age prior to June 1, 2019 in order to enroll in classes.
K-1st Schedule
A combination tap and primary ballet class preparing the early elementary age dancer to transition into developmental dance classes once the dancer moves to second grade.
Early Childhood Dress Code
All students must follow a very discipline dress code set by Miss Charity
Level Descriptions:
- Development Classes for second grade and up are divided into four levels (1-4) with 1-most basic and 4-most advanced. Within each level, there are ‘grades’ (A-C).
- Your dancer should progress through each grade within a level before moving on to next level, unless otherwise directed by your instructor.
- Example, a 2nd-4th grader at the studio would start in level 1A and then advance to 1B the following year. Each year, the student would advance one ‘grade’ (A-C) if taking the same discipline as the previous year.
- If you have a question regarding class placement, email info@mooresvilledance.com. If you enroll in a class that we feel is not well suited for your dancer, we will contact you to discuss what is best for your child.
Please note, teacher recommendation are by invitation only, and are progressing at a much more intense and quicker pace. Students must have a recommendation from instructors prior to registering. All students being considered for recommendation classes for the 2019-20 season will be notified via email prior to July 20th.
