Ages 3 to 4:
This thirty-minute class is a basic introduction to music and dance while exploring movement and basic steps in a fun creative way. This program welcomes parents to join in by dancing with their child.
We use imagination games, upbeat age-appropriate music, and props, like colorful scarves, hula hoops, and maracas to inspire and excite students about dance. This program will also improve children's listening skills, gross motor skills, coordination, muscle development, and body awareness. Please prepare your child with comfortable clothes for movement.
*This program will help prepare children who wish to advance to our Twinkle Toes Dance Performance program which includes a dance recital!
