Preparatory Division
This Division creates an avenue for motion, rhythm, and coordination for students 6 to 8 years old. Students are introduced to basic ballet vocabulary and continue to learn classroom etiquette that will remain with them thought out their dancing years and beyond. Students will be guided through exercises that help begin to develop a sense of poise and confidence. Students will learn how to take turns, following another dancer, or lead the group, wait patiently, work together with others, listen, self-control, and have a positive attitude. The use of props makes this a fun and playful experience. Meets once a week. Starting in the Preparatory Division, dancers will be a part of the WSYB Collective Co. Each class will get to learn dances and compete virtually in Ballet competitions across the country.
The Preparatory Division includes Ballet I and Ballet II for ages from 6 - 8 years old.
See Dress Code for leotard information.
The goal of WSYB is to prepare dancers from whatever age they join the studio to reach their full potential. As the students move through our curriculum, they will be challenged to apply themselves to fulfill their goals, not just in dance but in all the passions of their lives. WSYB strives to give every student the ability to mature at a pace that is beneficial to them. Dancers mustn't be pushed to achieve physical goals that may be harmful to growing bodies and souls.
With a background in many styles of Ballet training, Phyllis has taken from each method of instruction and refined it to create a syllabus that will produce well rounded and knowledgeable students. They will be able to adapt to different styles of teaching with integrity and safety.
Students need to arrive on time for class, in the proper attire, with hair for the girls, secured. The dress code is designed to encourage unity, simplicity, and discipline among our student
