We are committed to excellence in dance education and creating a positive environment where students can reach their highest potential and achieve their goals in dance and in life. The Mt. Prospect School of Classical Ballet offers a curriculum rooted in strong classical ballet technique. Ballet students dance primarily to classical and instrumental music and are taught a sense of discipline, grace and poise that benefits the student in all aspects of life. The year culminates in the production of an original story ballet that incorporates all classical ballet students. Dancers who progress through the curriculum may also have the opportunity to train en pointe in the upper intermediate and advanced levels. The Mt. Prospect Center for Tap & Jazz features jazz technique as its core curriculum with several specialty classes such as tap, hip-hop and lyrical jazz. These specialty classes offer students the opportunity to build on their technical dance training and explore a variety of movement styles, rhythms and dynamics set to popular music. All jazz and specialty classes are featured in the annual spring recital, offering students a chance to experience the thrill of performing for a live audience. Participation in the dance recitals is encouraged for all students, but not required. All students who wish to participate in the recitals must pay a costume fee. Please see the costume fee box for pricing information. For more information on the Mt. Prospect Park District Dance Program, please call the Cultual Arts office at 847-640-1000 or refer to our website www.mppd.org.

Almost every one of them is fundamentally strong and has a good sound background of the basics. Each of these athletes has been taught through repetition, strong reinforcement and competitive practices. This training program is designed to teach boys & girls grades 3rd-8th many aspects of the game. Passing/Serving: To help players develop proper techniques serve receive/defensive diggers and serving form. Hitting/Blocker: A hitter must learn to become smart by keeping the defense guessing with a variety of shots. Blockers need a keen sense of timing. Players will learn proper footwork, arm swing, clocking hands/arm position and develop better hand-eye coordination. Setting: We will teach players proper footwork, body alignment, hands/arm position and second ball attacking. During all sessions players will be divided and play games that reinforce the skills being taught. 3rd & 4th Graders will receive the same opportunities as the older levels, but will use lighter balls and a lower net to ensure success for the participants. All participants should bring a sack lunch and water bottle. Program will break for a supervised lunch at 12 noon.
