Session Description
In this program, 3 to 6-year-old students develop their mind and muscle memory through a weekly series of fun exercises that lay the groundwork for proper dance technique. They develop body awareness and control while exploring their own creativity and develop an understanding of the connection between dance, rhythm, and music. Children are encouraged to think creatively and listen attentively while they develop rhythmic awareness and learn the healthy habit of exercising at an early age. Classes convene once per week (on either Saturday or Sunday) and are split into three age groups. First Steps I: age 3 and 4 First Steps II: age 5 First Steps III: age 6

Session Description
The Ailey Athletic Boys Dance Program is a scholarship track within the Pre-Professional Program of the Junior Division for boys between the ages of 7-10 who exhibit a strong interest in dance. A primary goal of the program is to provide access to conservatory caliber training that will enable students to matriculate to the highest levels within Junior Division. Classes are structured to develop strength, flexibility and coordination along with the discipline, focus and drive found in professional male athletes and dancers. Boys participate in a variety of classes each Saturday, including Ballet, Horton (a modern dance technique), West African, and Tap. Prior dance training is not required. Prospective students must first audition and be accepted to the Pre-Professional Program to be considered for the Ailey Athletic Boys Dance Program. Audition registration is now open. Space is limited! Early registration is advised.
