The Open Class Program at SMASH provides a space for students to dive into their dance training with the flexibility of choosing their classes and commitment level in alignment with their interest and availability. Our Open Class Program supports dancers that are eager to join our Pro Track program, wanting to dedicate significant energy to their dance training, as well as dancers that are happiest with a commitment level that is more variable or recreational. In all cases, SMASH’s Open Classes couple a passion for dance, movement and expression with strong, sound technical training in fun and engaging classes.  

 

Our Open Class Program begins with dancers at age 6 (going into First Grade) and encompasses the following classes: 

• Ballet, Levels 1-4

• Jazz, Levels 1-4

• Contemporary, Levels 2-4

• Tween & Teen Level 1/2

• Broadway 3/4

• SMASH Crew

 

Our Creative Dance, Hip Hop, Dance Acrobatics and Break Dance programs also fall under our Open Class offerings! 

 

In order to provide classes that are technically sound, appropriately challenging, engaging and achievable for the students, dancers are placed in appropriate Open Class Levels based on their mastery of the meticulously crafted SMASH curriculum. This is what creates the space for flexibility within the Open Class Program, allowing each dancer to progress at a pace suited to their skill and dedication.
