YOUNG CHILDRENS PREPARATORY DIVISION

 

Introducing young children to the joy of movement and developing their kinesthetic sense. 

Our Young Childrens Preparatory Division is the first building block of our of dance education program. Classes are designed to allow young children to explore movement through music, develop physical skills, channel energy, and stimulate imagination and creativity while having fun and making friends. Dance training enhances cognitive learning skills such as memory and communication -through the execution of movement patterns a childs visual perception and sequential learning skills are greatly strengthened, in turn assisting young brains to develop in the areas of reading and math. Teachers incorporate the use of props such as ribbon streamers, balls, scarves, bean bags, geometric shapes and other visual aids.  Providing opportunities for young children to experience enjoyment through movement contributes to their overall physical fitness and helps develop healthy life habits.

MOMMY AND ME

This class focuses on core strengthening and stretch to support proper alignment. A combination of exercises are incorporated involving your child. No dance experience required! Bring your 4-24 month old child and get back into shape!
