Dance classes for ages 3 to 5

For this age group, students will gain confidence and independence. Students will build fine and gross motor skills through the art of dance, while also learning life skills such as taking turns, waiting in line, changing their own shoes and following classroom expectations. We encourage students to build their communication and social skills through interaction with peers and teachers.

Tap & Ballet (ages 3 - 4)

In this 45 minute class, your dancer will learn to hear different rhythms and the very basic steps of tap, as well as, the 5 positions of ballet. Dancers will gain grace, balance and coordination through the use of simple dance combinations and repetition.
