ARTISTIC DESIGNS RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS

At Artistic Designs we believe quality dance education starts at the recreational level.

Dancers in our recreational programs are taught solid, technically sound, age appropriate material, in highly structured but fun and active classes.

Our recreational dancers are highly celebrated at both our Winter and Spring Showcases with their performances.

Our yearly recreational program is split into two individual sessions:

Fall/Winter Session : September-December

Spring : February-June

Each session runs independently from each other so you don’t have to commit to a full year of class.

Registration for each session is on going.
NEW IN SEASON 13!

We are excited to announce that we are now a Ready Set Dance affiliated studio.

Ready Set classes are perfectly designed to keep preschoolers stimulated, fit and most importantly, ensure they have lots offun while developing the 3 C’s:

READY SET DANCE,  a combo class of JAZZ, BALLET, TAP & HIPHOP.

The program caters for two levels, 2-3 years and 4-5 years.

JAZZ – Develop muscle strength, control and balance and achieve

coordination milestones like skipping before going to school.

BALLET – Engage in specifically designed music that captures the

beauty of classical ballet.

HIP HOP – Bust out some ice cold moves just like Freeze to our

original hip hop tracks.

TAP – Learn the fundamentals of tap in a playful and creative way,

splashing in puddles and shuffling like a penguin.

READY SET ACRO is a collaborative acrobatic program developed with Industry Leader Acrobatic Arts, specifically designed for preschoolers.

It emphasizes safe and effective progressions to foster the physical and social skills needed for healthy early childhood development.

The program is developed with original music with lyric cues andfocuses on three key components:

Stretch, Strength, and Skills.

STRETCH: Enhance flexibility and expand the range of motion in all major muscle groups.

STRENGTH: Young learners engage in a variety of exercises designed to promote physical strength and control.

SKILLS: Preschoolers develop social literacy and build confidence while exploring a wide range of AcroDance skills.

This class can be taken independently or added on to your dancer’s Ready Set Dance class at a discounted rate!

READY SET MOVE is a creative movement and music class for toddlers

and their grownup. The class consists of 3 sections :

ENGAGE, EXPLORE AND EXPRESS.

The ENGAGE section is a playful exploration of music, nursery rhymes,  lap play and parachute fun.

The EXPLORE section is set up as a circuit around the room with obstacles like stepping stones, tunnels and sensory activities designed to encourage investigation and build coordination skills.

The EXPRESS section of the class involves free dance movement which develops creativity with instruments, feathers and bubbles.

Join our community and learn new ways to interact with your toddler.

Young children at this age are in the period of highest brain growth and development in their lifespan.

Participating in READY SET MOVE with the support of a grown up can make a significant contribution to play, development and learning.

So come and bounce like a bunny, be slow like a sloth and create memories  with your special little mover.

MINI RECREATIONAL COMBO CLASS:

(Ages 6–8)

This class builds on early foundations with added structure and variety. Through a fun and energetic blend of jazz, ballet, tap, and hip hop, dancers continue to grow their coordination, musicality, and confidence. With more focus on developing fundamental technique, this class helps young dancers prepare for future pre-competitive opportunities while still keeping the joy of movement at the center.

  • JAZZ & HIP HOP – Introduce beginning turns, flexibility, leaps, and jumps while also developing rhythm, style, and performance quality through age-appropriate choreography and upbeat music.

  • BALLET – Begin learning classical terminology and positions that establish the foundation for proper ballet technique.

  • TAP – Explore rhythm, timing, and sound with playful combinations that sharpen musicality and precision.
