Fitch Dance Company
Where Great Dancers Grow
EST. IN 1979
Level 2
Ages 7 - 8
At Fitch Dance Company, dancers must be 7 years old by November 1st in order to be automatically placed in Level 2.
While age is a key requirement, our staff also considers each dancer’s skill level, experience, and readiness to ensure proper class placement. Our goal is to place every dancer where they will feel confident, be challenged appropriately, and continue to grow.
If a dancer does not meet the age requirement but demonstrates exceptional ability, placement may be considered by evaluation. In some cases, we may recommend that a dancer spend an additional year in Level 1 to continue building strength and confidence before advancing. These decisions are made thoughtfully and with the dancer’s long-term development in mind.

Our Tumbling class introduces young athletes to the exciting world of beginner acrobatic skills in a fun, high-energy environment! Dancers will learn foundational movements such as forward rolls, backward rolls, cartwheels, bridges, handstands, kickovers, and basic balance skills. At this age, we focus on building strength, flexibility, coordination, and confidence while emphasizing proper technique and safe skill progressions. Classes are structured to keep students engaged while helping them develop body awareness and control. Tumbling is perfect for energetic kids who love to move, flip, and explore new skills — whether they are pairing it with dance classes or simply want to build strong fundamentals for future acro and gymnastics training.
Lyrical 2
ballet/tap required to be taken concurrently
Tuesdays at 5:45pm
Intro to Lyrical is designed for dancers ages 7–8 who are ready to explore the expressive side of dance. This class blends elements of ballet and jazz while introducing dancers to lyrical movement that emphasizes emotion, fluidity, and musical connection. Dancers will learn basic technique, simple combinations, and how to tell a story through movement in a supportive and creative environment. A ballet/tap combo class is required to be taken concurrently with this class because good ballet technique is an important base for lyrical movement. This class is perfect for young dancers who enjoy graceful movement, expressive music, and want to begin developing artistry along with their technique.
