Terrific Toddlers – Age 2<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Our Terrific Toddler class is offered to 2 year old boys and girls. It is a\u00a0thirty minute creative movement class. Toddlers will have fun exploring\u00a0movement and locomotor skills to fun songs. Mom, Dad or caregiver can join in the fun! All new dancers are provided a personal prop box and supplies for free. Girls wear a pink leotard, pink tights and pink ballet slippers, while boys wear black shorts or pants, a white t-shirt and bare foot or black ballet slippers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our toddler and preschool programs are specially designed to provide children between 2 and 5 years of age with a strong foundation in dance and movement.\u00a0 It teaches the young dancer the basic elements of movement and dance.\u00a0 The class explores space and how we relate to it, the eight basic locomotor movements, musical rhythm and beat, opposites and directions and some elementary positions of ballet.\u00a0 Integrated with these physical concepts are the intellectual concepts of self-awareness, creative expression, imagination, team work and basic body\/health awareness. \u00a0Through participation in these classes, students also learn the basics of classroom behavior and manners, which remain the same throughout their dancing years.\u00a0 These concepts include learning how to take turns, following another dancer or leading the way, waiting patiently, working together with others and having a positive attitude.<\/span><\/p>\n

Educators now know that training children in these young children in the concepts of movement sequencing, patterning, and spatial relationships lays a strong foundation for later development of reading, mathematics and other educational skills.\u00a0 Children in our program work actively in all these areas and have FUN!!<\/span><\/p>\n
