Join us for a magical dance adventure that brings the wonders of winter to life! This class is highly engaging, and encourages positive interactions between participants in a caring and supportive environment. Each week dancers will glide, twirl, stomp and jump like snowflakes, icicles, and various winter animals, building coordination, confidence and bonding time. Emphasis is also placed on social skills, following routines, motor skill development and independence!  Emphasizing age and developmentally appropriate dance and movement through playful learning, children leave each class buzzing with excitement and joy, eager to return to the studio for their next class.

SESSIONAL PROGRAM

"Twinkle Toes & Snowflakes"
Small & Tall Dance
(Ages 1-3)

Storytime Dance Class
(Ages 2.5+)

If you are looking for a dance class that keeps your kiddo moving, grooving and burning off what seems to be endless amounts of energy, you really have come to the right place!

This introductory class teaches foundational dance technique from various genres including ballet, jazz, and acrobatic dance in a learning environment that understands that kids NEED to move to learn.

With imagination, creativity and FUN being the emphasis, dancers will leap, spin and glide through each winter themed class. Children will develop stamina, strength, endurance, balance, rhythm & musicality and leave each class with smiles on their faces, begging to come back!

* Ballet slippers or jazz shoes are highly recommended.

"Frosty Footsteps"
Preschool Dance Combo
(Ages 3-5)

Our sessional classes are a great way to introduce your little one to dance and try new and different genres without making a full year commitment. We offer a diverse selection of Sessional dance classes for children ages 1+. Our classes are age and developmentally appropriate, and because we believe that play is the foundation for learning, all dance skill development at this age is grounded in play-inspired movements, imagination, exploration and musicality! We encourage dancers to come back for multiple or repeated sessions as children will grow in confidence, independence and skills each time they come!
