Dance is for everyone!
Children's & Open Division
Each training program is designed to help guide dancers and families know towards achieving their goals, whatever level that may be. We are happy to help you with making this decision. Please email us: meredith@oneartsaustin.com
Our Children's and Open division is for students that are beginning their dancer journey. It is designed to help introduce them to the fun, joy and creativity of dance.
Classes are based on the dancer’s age as of September 1, 2022.Younger dancers also must be potty trained to take class.
Some students in this program may discover their love for dance is greater than they initially realized and desire to move into our Advanced or Professional Training Programs. We would love to help you transition to one of these programs.
Children's & Open Division classes include: Creative Movement, Primary Ballet, Beginning Contemporary/Jazz, Breakdancing, Beginning Teen Ballet, Beginning Teen Jazz/Contemporary and Broadway Tap.
Performing: Dancers 6+ are invited to audition for specific roles in Nutcracker and our Spring Production. Younger dancers may sign up to participate as "Angels" in Nutcracker or "Littlest Peasants" in Giselle. Due to Covid-19 we have had to suspend our community performances. We continue to look for other performance opportunities for our youngest dancers.
We highly recommend ALL dancers take Ballet. Ballet is foundation of all dance forms, and extremely beneficial to building strong, safe bodies and budding artists, no matter what style of dance they want to pursue.
At ONE Academy of Dance we want to help each dancer meet their dancing goals. We partner with dancers and families to find the program that works best for their goals. Below are some examples of our classes and programs.

CHILDREN'S DIVISION
This program is designed for dancers ages 3-9 who are beginning to explore dancing. While this division offers classes for dancers of all interest levels, the upper level classes of this division help prepare budding dancers for admittance into our Advanced and Pre-Professional Training Divisions.
Creative Movement - Ages 3-4 years - This exciting fun-filled preschool program blends the magic of the child’s imagination with movement and the underlying principles of dance and music. With imaginations fully engaged, preschoolers use props such as scarves, bean bags, ribbons and more as they begin to learn the fundamentals of dance set to music that inspires as well as educates. Children also learn how to take class with others, waiting for their turn, listening skills, dance class etiquette and balance and coordination.
Intro to Dance - Ages 5-7 - This is a great first dance class for students wanting to give dance a try. This class brings a taste of multiple types of movement for the dancer to explore including ballet, jazz and contemporary. Dancers will enjoy learning basic steps and movement fundamentals to various types of music while engaging their imaginations.
Primary Ballet & Jazz/ Contemporary - Ages 5-6 - This slightly longer class allows for more of a ballet emphasis for dancers and families who want to begin the foundational basics of ballet training. The earliest stages of learning to use our muscles to begin to create the posture and turnout associated with the study of classical ballet is complemented with the musicality and coordination of learning jazz and contemporary movement. These styles of movement and music are not only fun for the dancers but an integral part of fostering coordination, increasing movement vocabulary and musicality as well as helping the dancers grow in personal confidence and expression through movement.
Intro to Ballet 1 Program - Ages 7-9 - This is a big kid program! Dancers are now taking ballet twice a week along with a separate jazz/contemporary class. Just like other physical training, for dancers to grow and develop and maintain the muscles and strength they need for dancing, training needs to begin to be more than once a week. Dancers will build on their previous ballet learning by learning more specific postural placement as well as being introduced to more advanced concepts and steps, all while learning to maintain the turnout that is unique to classical training. In their separate Jazz and Contemporary class they will continue to build upon the basic steps they learned in the previous level while learning more complex steps and longer sequences. This jazz/contemporary training greatly aids dancers interested in training to be ballet dancers as it not only increases movement vocabulary and versatility but also further develops their coordination and musicality as well as flexibility and strength. This program prepares dancers to be accepted into our Advanced and Pre-Professional Traiing Programs.
