Mommy & Me :
Ages 18 Months-24 Months (Non-Recital Class)

Mommy & Me is a 30 minute intro to dance class for children ages 2-3 years old. Your child will have fun singing and learning simple movements set to music while making new friends!
Mommy & Me helps to develop motor skills while improving coordination and learning to follow directions. Each child attends class with a parent or caregiver. (No tutus necessary moms and dads!) Children at this level are invited to perform in the Spring Recital!
*Instructor must feel each individual child at the Mommy & Me level will be safe and ready to be onstage alone before parent purchases a recital costume.
Creative Movement: Ages 2.5-4
Creative Movement is a 30 minute intro to dance class for children ages 3-4. In this class, your child will have fun learning simple dance steps, singing songs, and using their imagination through improvisation.
In Creative Movement, children will start to learn proper dance etiquette and will attend class without a parent. Elements of introductory Ballet and Jazz technique are taught. Children are invited to participate in our Spring Performance!
Taps & Tutus: ages 3-4
Taps & Tutus is a 45 minute intro to dance class that allows young dancers the opportunity to explore Creative Movement (intro to ballet), the basis of all dance forms, and Tap in every class. This combo class introduces elements of dance such as skipping, jumping, weight change, stretching, and basic Tap and Ballet terminology! We recommend this class as a way for children to explore what styles of dance they may like at the next level of training. Tip-If your child turns 4 before the season starts or shortly after, we recommend them starting in a Petite level dance class instead of Taps & Tutus.
In each class, dancers will do approximately 20 minutes of Creative Movement and 20 minutes of Tap. Time is alotted for changing into Tap shoes and sticker time at the end of class. Dancers are invited to perform in the Spring Performance!
