Classes
Primary Division: Classes for Ages 2.9yrs - Grade 1
Young children get excited about learning when taught with a playful approach in a nurturing environment. Our teachers engage a young dancer's attention by introducing skills and activities thru songs, rhymes, props and one's imagination. Skills and activities promote gross motor skills, body awareness, balance, coordination, and musicality, as well as self-esteem, focus, listening skills, learning how to take turns and follow directions, and social experiences. We strive to make the first experiences in dance POSITIVE and FUN!
