All classes in this program offer a fun and creative introduction to dance for 2-6 year olds incorporating Brain Dance warm-up movement patterns to strengthen gross motor skills, cognitive function, core support and alignment, and a deeper understanding of dance technique. We support the development of the whole child and their love of dance, music, and self-expression. All classes are invited to perform in our Spring story-ballet recital!

Joy of Movement

2 y.o.

 Caregivers and young dancers build a loving relationship as they tip toe, spin, and jump together. They learn a love of dance through rhyme, story-telling, and movement patterns that build motor skills, musicality, and formative ballet skills. By the Spring, dancers are confident and independent as they dance alone with their classmates, ready to dance as a group! 

Creative Movement

Dancers build dance strength, grace, and balance through ballet center work, patterns across the floor, and imaginative play. As a group they travel together, combine movements into beautiful phrases, and develop performance confidence. 

Discover Dance

 Children learn more complex dance concepts, vocabulary, and social interaction through partnering and strengthening of ballet fundamentals. Dancers discover movement levels, self-expression, and the joy of pretend and character development.
