Danceimagination I for 3-4 years
3-4 Years
Dance Imagination introduces dance basics and inspires young dancers to express themselves through movement, developing their understanding of the art and technique of dance in an atmosphere of fun and purpose. Using concepts that are familiar to the child, movement is introduced which invites them to apply imagination, energy, and coordination. Through creative play and imitation, children strengthen basic motor skills and self-esteem by learning what they can do. By exploring dance, music, and language, the child’s many facilities of self-expression are nurtured. Memorization improves because the elements of dance are identified and used in many interesting ways. Focus on form, technique, and composition increases with age and ability within the curriculum. Training young dancers in this in-depth method develop body awareness, agility, rhythm, improvisation skills, and creative thinking of a permanent nature while preparing for the more regimented study of ballet, jazz, modern, and other related theater arts.

Danceimagination I Sampler for 3-4 years
Dance Imagination introduces dance basics and inspires young dancers to express themselves through movement, developing their understanding of the art and technique of dance in an atmosphere of fun and purpose. Using concepts which are familiar to the child, movement is introduced which invites them to apply imagination, energy, and coordination. Through creative play and imitation, children strengthen basic motor skills and self-esteem by learning what they can do. By exploring dance, music, and language, the child’s many facilities of self-expression are nurtured. Memorization improves because the elements of dance are identified and used in many interesting ways. Focus on form, technique and composition increases with age and ability within the curriculum. Training young dancers in this in-depth method develops body awareness, agility, rhythm, improvisation skills and creative thinking of a permanent nature while preparing for the more regimented study of ballet, jazz, modern and other related theater arts. More on our Young Dancers Program. This class is a mini session version of our Dance Imagination Program does not perform in the Spring Concert.

Jazz/Tap Combo 5-7 yrs
5 - 7 Years ~ Introduction to Tap and Jazz dance styles. Perfect for the young dancer who loves rhythm, upbeat music and energetic movement!
Students may enroll for the yearlong course or by the semester (Fall, Winter, Spring) as space allows.
Our children's classes are designed to help children develop confidence, muscle strength, coordination, musicality, and self-expression. We are committed to dance education and responding to each child’s needs, abilities and rate of assimilation. Taking into consideration the experience and maturity of the individual we are flexible in regards to placement according to age. Our work is based on the idea of dance as an additional resource to general education. We provide a non-competitive and supportive environment from which children and teenagers can feel secure to explore the world of dance. Although our principal focus is not on recitals, we do feel that performing in a theatrical environment is a valuable part of a student’s dance experience.
