Class Description
- Mommy and Me (Ages 1-2)– With Mommy (or Daddy) close by, students will learn the basics of dance, while engaging in hands-on movement activities essential to proper development in coordination, recognizing music and rhythms, counting and timing, and self-confidence. Students learn to stretch and dance using exciting props such as dance scarves, hula hoops, and ribbon sticks.
- Creative Movement (Ages 2-3)- The children are introduced to the basic concepts of rhythm and movement using creative games that expand their individual creativity. They will learn special awareness, listening skills, group socialization, and structure. They will strengthen their bodies and learn coordination to ready themselves for the next level in dance. Our goal is to make sure we are building the love of dance in each child, nurturing their natural creativity in a fun and loving atmosphere. Our goal is to awaken interest, enthusiasm, and self-confidence through dance.
- Pre-Ballet Level I (Ages 3-5)- This class is an introductory class. The class begins with conditioning, stretching, and strengthening exercises. They will learn patterning and will have opportunities in each class where they dance alone, and in a group. Basic Ballet vocabulary and class etiquette are introduced. Pre-Ballet Level I meet 1 time a week
