Early Childhood Division
Northern Plains Dance Early Childhood curriculum helps to develop coordination, musicality, and a love for the arts in our youngest dancers. These classes are designed to stimulate the body and mind of each student as they explore movement and advance their motor skills. From the littlest dancers in Dance Together to the independence of Creative Movement, Pre Ballet, and Pre Dance, the Early Childhood Division is the perfect place for tiny dancers to begin.

Creative Movement B Thursdays 6:00 - 6:40 pm
The second level of Creative Movement class for ages 4 to 5 lets children discover pleasure in developing physical skills in a safe and fun environment. As the students’ concentration and gross motor skills improve, Creative Movement B emphasizes patterns in both music and movement. Students will be introduced to the concepts of body, energy, space, & time as well as encouraged to take direction from the instructor and share turns with peers. Click here for more information.
Youth Division
Advanced Divsion
The Youth Division is where the art of dance is shown to be not only a performance art, but a foundation for developing as a person. Like any form of art, dance requires determination to master the craft, and we strive to provide students with a groundwork of high quality dance, whether for fun or as a career. The Youth Division includes classes designed to develop coordination, musicality, and kinetic awareness.
Ballet 1A Thursdays 4:45 - 5:45 Pm
Ballet 2 Mondays 5:30 - 7:00 pm
Ballet 2/3 Fridays 4:00 - 5:30 PM
The Advanced Division encourages students to aspire to a high standard of excellence and professionalism. It includes classes in ballet, pointe, modern, tap, and jazz. It is our goal to inspire a lifelong passion for dance and encourage students to realize their individual potential through the attention offered by our exceptional faculty.
Progress through the Advanced Division is based on a student’s level of skill and accomplishment, not on his or her age. Advanced Division students demonstrate the ability to progress more rapidly in strength, artistry and technique. Students are judged solely by their drive, ability and work in class and rehearsal as well as their willingness to accept, implement and retain corrections. Click here for more information.
