Small FontMedium FontLarge Font
This is a transition class between the Early Childhood Program and Level 1 classes. Five year olds continue to work on the same concepts begun in the 3 and four year old classes, but in greater degrees of complexity. Their ability to count the music is developed, they utilize opposite arms and legs while skipping, galloping and balancing. Weight transfers are taught in more complex patterns, and traveling steps across the floor are done on half pointe. They also begin to learn the technique of spotting (the snap of the head that allows dancers to turn without getting dizzy).

By the time students have completed Rising Stars Dance they are ready both physically and mentally to begin the more formalized classes offered in Level 1.
