To register for this class, children should be fairly steady when walking. During this class, we will sing, dance, tumble, and play using many engaging activities. Toddlers will be introduced to basic movement elements: big/small, fast/slow, high/low, time, space, and energy. Children will enjoy working with scarves, balls, bean bags, rhythm sticks and working on a balance beam.
(30 minutes, non-recital)

These classes expand on the basic elements of movement and music. Skipping and jumping will enhance coordination, while basic gymnastics help children develop strength and balance. Dramatic play games help children’s emotional and social development. Students also have opportunities to be creative and learn cooperation skills. These classes introduce students to basic technique in ballet, tap, and jazz.
