Whether your child is just beginning or already loves to move, our summer programs offer age-appropriate instruction in a supportive and inspiring environment.

Programs Offered

Level 1+2 (Ages 3–6)

Our Summer Dance Experience is the perfect introduction to classical ballet training for young dancers ages 3–6. Designed for Levels 1–2, this program blends creativity, structure, and foundational technique in a supportive and joyful environment.

Dancers will train in:

  • Ballet Fundamentals – posture, positions, musicality, and basic steps

  • Progressive Ballet Technique (PBT) – age-appropriate strength, balance, and coordination using fun props and exercises

  • Variation Work – simple choreography that builds confidence and performance skills

  • Progressions – traveling steps and movement pathways to develop control, spatial awareness, and flow

Classes focus on building strong movement habits while nurturing imagination, discipline, and a love of dance. Each day encourages growth in coordination, listening skills, confidence, and artistry — all while having fun!

This experience is ideal for both brand-new dancers and returning students ready to continue developing their ballet foundation in a warm, encouraging setting.

Level 3+4 (Ages 7-9)

Our Summer Dance Experience for Levels 3–4 is designed to strengthen technical foundations while introducing dancers to more focused ballet training in a supportive and motivating environment. This program is ideal for ages 7–9 who are ready to deepen their skills, build confidence, and grow artistically.

Dancers will train in:

  • Classical Ballet Technique – placement, alignment, coordination, and vocabulary

  • Progressive Ballet Technique (PBT) – strength, stability, turnout support, and body awareness using age-appropriate conditioning

  • Variation Work – choreography that develops musicality, performance quality, and memory

  • Progressions – traveling steps and combinations to improve control, elevation, and movement quality

This experience focuses on developing proper technique while encouraging discipline, artistry, and confidence. Dancers will work on musicality, coordination, flexibility, and expressive movement, all while being guided in a positive, structured atmosphere.

  • At TDC, summer isn’t just about keeping busy — it’s about building strong foundations in a joyful, encouraging environment.

    Let this be the summer your dancer falls in love with ballet!

    • Classical Foundation from the Start
      Even our youngest dancers are introduced to age-appropriate ballet technique in a structured yet imaginative environment. We focus on posture, coordination, musicality, and classroom etiquette — building habits that create confident, capable dancers as they grow.

    • Structured, Nurturing Environment
      Our program balances creativity with consistency. Dancers learn how to line up properly, listen to corrections, take turns, and respect their teachers and classmates — all while feeling safe, encouraged, and celebrated.

    • Confidence Through Achievement
      From mastering their first plié to working on pirouettes - each milestone is intentional. We help young dancers experience accomplishment in ways that build self-esteem and resilience — skills that extend far beyond the studio.

    • Performance Readiness
      Dancers gain experience working in a professional-style classroom setting, preparing them for future performances and continued training at TDC.

    • A Studio Family Atmosphere
      At TDC, we know every child by name. We value communication with families and believe in creating a positive, uplifting culture where dancers feel they belong.
