Classes for Age 18 Months to 7 Years
PARENT & ME CLASSES
For ages 18 months to 3 years old
Our Parent & Me Class is an early childhood music and movement class for children 18 months to 3 years old. The little ones and their caregivers will engage in dancing, singing and playing to help them learn and grow in a fun musical environment. Moving bodies are learning bodies! With fun musical activities, this class can help build a child's self esteem, establish positive social/emotional skills, as well as promote cognitive/motor and language development. All of this for them AND the adults might even get a bit of a work out too!
GROWING DANCERS CLASSES
For ages 2.5 to 3.5 years old
For ages 2.5–3.5, this class is designed for little dancers who are ready to participate more independently but still feel comfortable with a parent or caregiver nearby. Children dance and participate with the teacher while their grown-up stays in the room to provide support and reassurance when needed. Parents do not participate in the dancing in this class. For a class where grown-ups actively dance alongside their little ones, please see our Parent & Me class. Growing Dancers is the perfect in-between step for building confidence, independence, coordination, and a love of dance!
PROTOTYKES CLASSES
Independent Classes For ages 3-7
Our ProtoTykes classes are designed to inspire, empower and unite young children while giving them the opportunity to further their physical, creative and social skills. Our program incorporates a variety of games, props and equipment to make learning dance fun and accessible to young bodies and minds while keeping them focused on the exciting activities at hand. The classes are designed to be developmentally appropriate and will adjust depending on the overall level of the students participating. Children will learn to work independently as well as together, with partners and in a group and setting. The program includes several positive and supportive performance opportunities throughout the year to build confidence and demonstrate what they have learned. Class sizes are limited to ensure quality and optimal learning.
