Dance Classes for Ages 2 - 5

We offer classes for all ages and believe that training can start early in life!

For ages 2 - 3.5 we offer a creative movement class that is a wonderful introduction to dance, music and creative expression! Kids use their imagination while developing excellent motor skills. All classes begin with a warm-up of stretches and groups exercises. The remaining portion of class is full of games and activities using props, story telling, dance, and singing. Students are encouraged to use their imagination and feel free to express themselves through movement and voice.

Skills taught: independence, sharing, taking turns, listening to directions, developing self-control, body awareness, gaining confidence in a group, exploring imagination, coordination, and rhythm. If necessary parents/caregivers can attend the class.

Class Times: Mondays 10:30am-11:15am, Wednesdays 10:15am-11:00am, & Fridays 10:15am-11:00am

For ages 3.5 - 5 we offer a ballet and tap combo class. Students will learn the poise and form of ballet along with the fun, energetic rhythm of tap dancing. Basic ballet skills, terminology, rhythm, flexibility and coordination will be taught in an atmosphere filled with creativity and discipline. Tap dancing will teach students how to turn their feet into a musical instrument. Children will gain a sense of accomplishment, as well as exploring their love of dance and music.

Skills taught: basic tap terminology/technique, coordination, rhythm, and body control.
