JUNIOR YEARS

9 – 13 years

Junior year classes challenge and develop a love of dance and the performing arts in the 9yrs+ performer. Dancers in this program take advantage of all the social, educational and health benefits of dancing. An opportunity to perform in the annual recital and take the International Dance Acclaim Performance Awards in Ballet and Tap is offered. Centre Pointe chooses age-appropriate costumes and music. This ensures that students are not exposed to content unsuitable for their age and promotes a safe and healthy environment for children to learn and grow.

IDA Performance Awards

IDA Dance Assessments and Performance Awards will occur in Term II of Season 14.

Centre Pointe Junior Years dancers can participate in live dance assessment/evaluation performances in Ballet & Tap. Dancing on stage for family and friends and IDA Adjudicators is a fantastic experience. Upon successful completion, each dancer receives a medal and certificate, which gives each performer a great sense of achievement and a confidence boost.

Why Private Coaching?

As a parent, you may consider private dance lessons for your child; there are many benefits to this type of instruction. Private lessons offer personalized attention and allow your child to progress independently. They provide a safe and comfortable environment for your child to learn and explore creativity. Additionally, private lessons can help build confidence, improve coordination, and develop a love for dance that can last a lifetime. We recommend considering private lessons from the age of 6 years and up.
