All toddler and preschool classes are designed to instill a love for the magical world of dance, acro, yoga, and music by capturing children’s natural enthusiasm for music, movement and creative play. As our students grow and mature, our classes are designed to transition into greater knowledge and skill in dance and the arts — building grace, self-confidence, discipline and poise.
We want your little ones to work with our highly-trained, caring and nurturing instructors as they begin their journey in dance. All toddler and preschool classes are based on creative movement, so your child’s introduction to dance is cheerful and fun. Children learn proper studio etiquette and behavior while never losing sight of the joy and fun of dancing. Classes are limited in size; however, a waiting list is available for any class that is currently filled. All classes participate in spring recital unless otherwise stated. The recital requires a costume purchase. Participation in recital is optional.
