Class Descriptions
-

Dance With Me (18 months-2 Years)
This class is designed to introduce tiny dancers to our studio and teachers and give them a head start in their dance journey. Students will dance and sing along with the help of a parent or grown-up. We use lots of props and keep this class quick—paced and high-energy!
NB: This class does not participate in the end of year recital
-

Creative Movement (2 years- 3years)
This class bridges the gap between the participation of a parent or guardian in the class with no parents in the studio. We do this by allowing parents inside to watch the dancers participate and move to the waiting room area when the dancer is ready to be fully independent. Every child’s timeline is different and we believe this class is a great stepping stone to them gaining confidence and independence. It is Creative Movement and we use lots of props. This class is all about inspiring a love for dance and confidence within!
