Fundamentals are not easy, but they can be fun and engaging. Our children's classes are tailored to meet the developmental needs of children according to their age. Our teachers employ pretend play, visualization, and safe stretches to help young dancers learn. Activities that tap into children's natural abilities build their physical, social, and cognitive skills.
Dance and music prepare your child for a life rewardingly engaged with bodily movement and community.
Children's classes prepare students for the world of dance through music and movement. In Wee Dance and Creative Movement, children build coordination and muscular patterning in age-appropriate stages that will benefit them for a lifetime.
Wee Dance and Creative Movement are where ballet starts.
Movement practice and developmental exploration are valuable for their own sake, but they also prepare a dancer for a successful experience studying classical ballet and modern dance in later years.
Dancing forms the mind as much as it develops the body. Development-focused children's dance classes harmonize self-expression and skill-building while growing respect for peers and the learning environment.
