Early Childhood Program

Educators know that training young children in the concepts of movement sequencing, patterning and spatial relationships lays a strong foundation for the later development of reading, mathematics and other educational skills. Students in our Early Childhood Program (ages 2-7) work actively in all of these areas.

Kindermusik (Birth - 3 years) Parent/child class in development through music.

Two Much Fun (24-30 months) Parent/child class in large and small motor development and creativity through dance movement.

Mommy & Me (2-3 year olds-30 min.)
Children are introduced to the joy of movement and rhythm in the comfort of parental companionship.

Movement (3-4 year olds-30 min.)
These students are quite new to learning how their bodies move, as well as how to behave in a classroom. Children in this program are gently introduced to the classroom environment through creative exercises.

Pre ballet (5-6 year olds - 30 min.)
Basic dance concepts including balance, rhythm and coordination are combined with creative activities.

Explorers (5-6 year olds 60 min.)
Students at this age now include basic tap dance concepts in this combined class. The class is divided into separate segments for pre ballet and pre tap. Terminology and application become part of the learning process.

Cadets (6-7 year olds-75 min.)
Students in the Cadets program study primary ballet and tap and are introduced to basic jazz elements. Students continue to work on the same concepts, but in greater degrees of complexity. The time frame of the combined classes offers convenience to parents while maintaining a slightly shorter class length to accommodate students physical energy level and attention span.

Primary Ballet (6-7 year olds - 30 min.) A separate class in the age appropriate study of ballet.

Primary Tap (6-7 year olds - 30 min.) A separate class in the age appropriate study of tap.

Primary Jazz (6-7 year olds - 30 min.) A separate class in the age appropriate study of jazz.

Adventurers I & II (7-9 year olds-90 min.)
These students are in the transition between our Early Childhood Program and standard classes. Essentially, this class takes the concepts learned in the Early Childhood Program and continues to expand the development of the student in class structure and focus. By the time students have mastered the requirements of this class level, they are ready both physically and mentally to benefit from expanded range of difficulty and length of class.
