At Turning Point Dance, they understand the importance of offering a variety of dance classes that cater to both children and adults. For parents with preschool-age children, they highly recommend trying one of their Under Fives classes. These classes focus on teaching the fundamentals of dance technique in a fun and lively environment.
For beginners, the instructors at Turning Point Dance often suggest starting with ballet. The learning environment in ballet classes is gentle and more focused, making it a great foundation for future dance styles. In addition to ballet, they also offer contemporary dance classes, which help students develop body-mind connection and a sense of weight and space.
If you're unsure about which level to choose, Turning Point Dance is here to help. Age and school level typically play a role in determining the appropriate class, but if you have previous dance experience, one of their teachers can assess your skills and propose the right level for you. Their main goal is to find a class that appropriately challenges you without being too difficult or unstimulating.
Turning Point Dance believes in maintaining a high standard of dance instruction regardless of your dance goals. Whether you aspire to become a professional dancer or simply want to enjoy recreational dance, all classes are designed to be enjoyable in a friendly and social environment while encouraging you to strive for your best and achieve your goals.
