2 YEAR OLD PROGRAM This 6 week 30 minute Introduction to Dance program combines creative movement and tumbling concentrating on large motor skills while exposing each child to various dance movements with fun sing-a-long songs. It allows the child expression and movement in fun group oriented activities. We ask that a parent or guardian stay in class in case their child needs assistance.

3 & 4 YEAR OLD PROGRAMOur preschool, 3 & 4 year old, program is a 45 minute combination of pre-ballet, tap and tumbling incorporating fun sing-a-long songs with dance while focusing on gross motor development and group activities. It is our belief that a child's first experience with dance should be fun, positive and rewarding, fostering the basis for a lifetime love of dance. |
5 & 6 YEAR OLD PROGRAMThis 45 minute class is a combination of ballet and tap. Ballet is taught using the Checchetti method. Children are introduced to the barre and appropriate exercises as well as movements across the floor. Classical and pop music is used as accompaniment. Strict turn out is not advocated until the child's bones and muscles are more developed. Tap is taught using upbeat music. Correct terminology is used throughout class.
