Foundations
Ages 6-7

for students born Nov 1, 2019 to Oct 31, 2020

At ages 6 to 7, Foundations moves into Rising Stars (Tap, Jazz & Acro) with two optional add-ons: Competitive Pre-Primary Ballet (our introduction to competition) and Hip Hop Stars. Dancers can also add one of our Session classes (shorter Fall/Winter/Spring/Summer sessions that end in an in-class showcase) alongside their Recital class.

Recital Classes

Rising Stars

Ages 6 to 7 years // Tap, Jazz & Acro Recital Class
Classes run from September to June
Dancers perform in our Matinee Recital on June 12, 2027 at 1:00pm

Rising Stars is where passion begins to grow, building on the strong foundations dancers developed in Kinder Stars as they expand their training with Jazz, Tap, and Acrobatics. Through engaging monthly themes and a fun, encouraging environment, dancers build strength, coordination, confidence, and teamwork, with four in-studio showcases along the way. Many dancers also add Competitive Pre-Primary Ballet and Hip Hop Stars to explore even more, and this final chapter of our Foundations program ends with the excitement of performing on the Conexus Arts Centre stage at our Year-End Recital.

See your dancer in action each week and follow their progress through our class livestream. Dancers attend class independently, without a parent in the room.

At this level, it is recommended that dancers also take Competitive Pre-Primary Ballet AND Foundations Hip Hop Stars in addition to Rising Stars (see below).
