Here’s some information that may assist you in choosing the perfect class for your child.
Students: Ages 4-5
All preschool classes are designed to introduce age-appropriate coursework for the young dancer’s physical, emotional, and social skills. These classes develop the basic elements of creative movement as well as vocabulary and musicality. Primary objectives are geared toward inspiration, self-expression, creativity, imagination, and having fun! Young children experience the love of learning through dance and music. If your child is hesitant to leave you to go into dance class, that’s a good indicator that she/he may yet be a little young for dance class. Try again in six months. You’ll be surprised at what a difference it will make.
