Preschool

You are here: Home / Classes / Preschool

Our Preschool programs provide a joyful introduction to movement and music.

Our Preschool programs include Parent & Tot for our two-year-olds with their caregiver, and Pre Ballet 1 classes designed specifically for our three-year-olds as they take their first independent steps into the world of dance.

Parent & Tot – dancers born in 2023 – 2024 WITH their caregiver

This program is specifically designed to take dancers 2 – 3.5 years and their caregiver on a magical journey of dance and discovery.  In a creative and encouraging environment, the class will captivate the dancer’s imagination and help further develop fine and gross motor skills.

Structured activities are balanced with the opportunity for free dance play and movement exploration using songs, games, props, and musical instruments.

With a teacher who praises your child’s success and cherishes their progress just as much as you do, week after week, their confidence blossoms. And you get to be right there beside them, as you experience their first dance class together.

Pre Ballet 1 – dancers born in 2023 

This specially designed program welcomes young dancers born in 2023 as they take their first independent steps into the world of dance! Dancers begin to explore movement on their own in a supportive, imaginative, and joyful environment.

Through a balance of structured activities and creative exploration, dancers will develop essential fine and gross motor skills. Each class includes songs, games, and props that spark creativity and keep young movers engaged and excited.

Led by a nurturing teacher who celebrates every milestone, your child’s confidence will grow week after week, and you’ll get to cheer them on just outside the classroom, watching them shine on their own for the very first time.

Each session will be twelve (12) weeks in length
