Pre-school dance classes are our specialty!
This will perhaps be your child's first introduction to the wonderful world of dance or even to a classroom environment. Social skills, communication skills, and, of course, locomotive and physical skills will be challenged in a new way. We want to make sure that your child's dance training is fun, safe, and age & ability appropriate. We work not to make your child a "star", but to instill a lifelong love for music and dance.
The songs we sing, the steps we execute, all prepare students to build on the technique needed for proper training. The excitement of perfecting a movement and the feeling of accomplishment will add confidence to each student. Not giving up and working towards a goal, even at a young age, are lessons that will stay with students for a lifetime.

Kinderdance

Both ballet and tap routines are performed in the annual production.

-
Combo II
6 - 7 year olds
A 1.5-hour class of ballet and tap devoted to building strong technique in a fun environment. More challenging terminology and proper technique encourages concentration skills.
