The Teeny Storybook Ballet class is the perfect introduction to ballet, creative dance, movement and music. A story is read at the beginning of class, and the movement that follows is inspired by that story. Storybook Ballet teaches the basic ballet steps and gross motor skills, while captivating your child’s imagination through storytelling, the use of props and age appropriate music. Your child will love exploring our monthly themes!
We find our Teeny dancers often need extra support in the transition from their grown-up being in the room with them to being outside the room watching. The Element team is understanding of this and will work with you to meet your child where they are at.
This class is an optional parent participation - meaning that if your dancer needs you in class, you can join in! Please do participate in the class if joining your child.
This class participates in our winter and spring performances.
There is no official uniform at Element Dance Studio for our preschoolers - above all, we want our little dancers to be happy and comfortable in what they wear at this young age!
The following suggestions are all acceptable:
- Leotard
- Dance shorts or leggings
- Fitted t-shirt or tank top
Hair: in ponytail, braid, or bun
Shoes: ballet shoes
*Pink ballet tights are required for performance
Ages 2 - 3.5
