Our two, three, four, and five year olds are all separated into their own
classes, focusing on their particular age and developmental needs. Technique
will be covered in ballet and gymnastics for all ages, and also in tap for
threes, fours, and fives. We work at keeping class interesting by utilizing
fun music, props, and equipment. We sing and dance to songs that children
already know and love, and begin learning to perform for one another. In
addition to dance and gymnastics technique, we also work on social and
emotional goals. Our program is designed to offer children
opportunities to learn a routine, as we encourage them with positive
reinforcement to learn and understand the routine, resulting in their own
sense of pride and personal accomplishment. These steps will enhance their
self-esteem and provide them with a positive attitude for attempting new or
challenging experiences. Simple tasks like entering a room alone, placing
their very own dance bag in its proper place, helping with the change of
shoes, and waiting turns will help develop skills to last a lifetime. Please
allow us to offer our 38 years of dance education, combined with child
development background, to provide a fun and educational class for your
child. |

Kindergarten
is a great year for dance class! Two types of classes are available:
our Ballet, Tap and Gymnastics Combination (which builds upon
our Preschool program), and our Jazz ‘n Gym class, involving
gymnastics and primary jazz. Kindergartners thrive on the self-confidence
they acquire by learning and practicing performance skills in
preparation for our annual Recital. Often this age is ready
for class twice per week; mornings, early afternoons or Saturdays.
Required dancewear is a leotard, pink tights, pink ballet shoes
(boys wear black) and black tap shoes. For Jazz ‘n’
Gym, any style leotard and tights, biketard or unitard may be
worn with black jazz shoes. (class time is 1 hour) You will
also find a class schedule and photo gallery in our Ages
2-5 section of our website. |
