“First Steps” (ages 18 months - 7 yrs) programs are designed for little ones focusing on the basics as well as having fun in a dance happy way. Your little one will be welcomed into the dance room and they'll soon be tippy toeing, twirling, skipping, jumping and tapping. You'll hear some singing and see some special props to add to the excitement of class. It's a magical time for little ones!
First Step Options ...
- Toddler Time (18 months - 3 yrs): A class where smiles and giggles are a must and dance fundamentals are started. Jumping, skipping, galloping, kicking and toe pointing are some things you’ll see your little dancer achieving. Parents accompany their little one for the first 1/3 of the dance year to help them take the class. Once confidence is built, the little ones will take class on their own and eventually go on the big stage to show all their hard work!
Class Choices:
Saturdays from 9:00 to 9:45 AM
- Preschool (3 - 4 yrs): A class where little ones develop coordination, rhythm, flexibility and ballet fundamentals in a fun-loving way. Dancers will be kicking, jumping, turning, galloping, skipping and doing chasses across the floor. They will use scarves, hula hoops, batons and other inspiring props. You’ll hear clapping and see faces gleaming as your little one accomplishes their steps!
