Young Children
get excited about learning when taught with a playful approach in a positive environment. Our teachers engage a young dancer's attention by introducing the basic concepts of classical ballet, creative movement, music appreciation, rhythm and poise thru songs, rhymes, props, stories, and one's imagination. Skills and activities promote gross motor skills, body awareness, balance, coordination, grace, and musicality, they foster self-esteem, they develop focus, listening skills, turn taking, and following directions and they encourage engaging social experiences. We strive to make the first experiences in dance POSITIVE and FUN!
