Since 1994, kids age 3-5 have been our
specialty! We have developed a top notch curriculum for this
age group keeping in mind that dancers this age need
the class to keep moving and to have fun while learning. The
focus in all of our age 3-5 year old classes is placed on early physical and
social development, working on developing and refining gross
motor skills and coordination. The class is structured to
reinforce social skills such as taking turns and cooperating
with others in a group setting.
In fact, we do so well
with students in our renowned ages 3-5 year old program, all
of our
dancers, even the 3 year olds, perform on stage in the spring
recital without coaching from the audience or wings! Check
out the video clip to the right for scenes from past recitals. |

Singing, pantomime and creative movement
activities are presented to encourage

DANCE BASICS (5 year
olds):
This 60 minute class is
designed for 5 year olds and is the next progressive level
after our “Intro to Dance” class. This class incorporates
ballet, tap and jazz. Dancers will learn ballet steps and
terminology. They will incorporate individual dance steps
into combinations, work on coordination skills using both
arms and legs, including right and left distinction. Tap
steps will be taught. At the same time children will be
taught to count and hear different, more complex rhythms.
Singing and pantomime activities are once again incorporated
in this class to encourage dancers to express and develop
their feelings and emotions through their own creative
movements. Fun dance activities will be taught to introduce
jazz steps. The style of jazz will be age appropriate,
combining many of the elements of music and movement styles
such as those found in Hannah Montana and High School
Musical. |
