where do i start?

When choosing a dance class for your student, the question of time commitment often arises. How long should we expect for our child to be at the studio? The answer to that question is depending on the level of training your student wishes to acquire. If your dancer wishes to take class for fun, recreationally only, one hour per week will do just fine. If your student wishes to dive deeper into the art form, possibly pursuing a career, they will need to spend more time in the studio.

PRE SCHOOL AGES 2-5

Here at Turning Point we know that the first five years of a child's life are the foundation that shapes children's future health, happiness, growth, development and learning achievement at school.

Warm and responsive interactions between adults and young children are key to children’s optimum development and learning. At Turning Point Dance we invest in our teacher’s education, qualifications and skills to provide a safe, loving environment.

Turning Point’s preschool program for dancers 2.5-5 is designed to enhance gross motor development, listening skills, musicality, and nurture the creative spirit.

FOR FUNSIES Ages Kindergarten- Adult Classes

Not Sure Where to Start? Start Here!

If you’re looking to give your dancer a solid foundation in movement, or simply want a lower-commitment option, our “For Funsies” classes are the perfect place to begin!

These are our non-leveled classes, which means they’re open to everyone, no matter your dancer’s experience. Even if your child is still working on fundamental skills, this is exactly where they’re meant to be.

Each class meets once a week for 45 minutes to an hour, providing a fun and welcoming environment to build confidence, coordination, and a love for dance.

If your dancer is hoping to grow into our leveled program (where we focus on more advanced technique and faster progression), we recommend enrolling in multiple classes. That extra training time gives dancers the consistency and practice they need to thrive in our accelerated tracks.

Wherever your dancer is starting, we’re just excited to be part of their journey!

ACCELERATED TRAINING

If you’re looking for a more committed and accelerated training, we recommend 2hr to 4hr per week (level 1-3) and 5+ hours a week for level 4 and higher: At this level of commitment, your dancer will learn, and maintain skills, with quicker progression in technique.

Advancement is based on correct placement, skill mastery, and instructor recommendation-not by age-which means all classes have a variety of age levels. Students spend an average of two years at each level before mastering the skills to advance. Students receive annual skills tests.
