Our Itty Bitty Rolls, Twirls, and Taps Combo Class involves tap, ballet, a little jazz, and acrobatics. These are independent introductory classes- where we learn a lot through music, movement, and play. This a great starter class for ages 18 months - 2.5 years! 

Our Cheer program prepares you for the world of cheer! Building foundational skills like arm motions, jumps, basic stunts, cheers and dances, chants, pom, sign, and more! Our cheerleaders are invited to be in our Christmas  parade routine, they film a video for spirit week, and they perform in our end of year recital showcase. 

These are beginner classes for school-aged children. Tap, hip hop, ballet, acro/tumbling, leaps/turns with jazz basis, lyrical/jazz combo, stretch and conditioning.

These classes work on  basic fundamental skills of each genre.  Children will learn basic stretch and warm up, strength building, balance, gross motor, coordination, and the genre's technique in all classes. RSDA uses basic fundamentals from several different children's curriculums and combines them to create our own lesson plans.
