This creative class is a perfect introduction for all little dancers. In this class, these beginning dancers will experience ballet, jazz and hip-hop. Children will learn basic locomotor skills, stretching, body awareness, and musicality through imagery and interactive exercises as well as classroom etiquette. This is an introduction to dance. The primary goal is to foster a love of movement. The creative component is quite large. Several fun or special activities happen in each class. For example, a scarf or flag dance can facilitate the dancer’s own physical expression. Taking part in dancing out a narrative helps children to understand that dancing is expression. It is a means of communicating feelings and actions. The vocabulary covered in Creative Preschool Dance is all steps, which a 3 & 4 year old can master and they will build self-confidence. The vocabulary is also set up to prepare students for either Beginning Combo, Beginning Ballet, or Beginning Jazz. The class length is 30 minutes, one time per week.

Combo expands on the concepts of our Creative Preschool class. The goals of Beginnng Combo are to foster creativity, freedom, and expression in movement, as well as a love for dance. This class includes concepts that are found in an older child’s dance class. By the end of the year in Beginning Combo, the students will be taught to dance set work independently of the teacher and they will memorize a few simple exercises and sequences. The class length is 60 minutes, one time per week.
