Dance Workshop

Our successful Tiny Tunes program is specifically designed for children ages 3.5-5 years. We teach tap, ballet and a little jazz. The purpose of the class is to introduce young dancers to the basics of dance and to inspire movement and creativity within a positive environment. Dancers will learn basic steps and terminology in both tap and ballet styles. For example, all dancers will learn what a “plie” is and how to demonstrate one. The use of fun, age appropriate music engages the young dancers’ minds and bodies. The use of fun props such as maracas, scarves, fairy wands, wobbly balance beams, tumbling mats, tunnels and even a parachute make the end of class the most fun!

Baby Tunes is our forty-five minute introductory dance class for children ages 2-3.5 years containing tap, ballet, creative movement and a whole lot of fun. Young dancers will learn the basic steps while learning how to follow directions, take turns, share, and imitate movement in a positive environment. Engaging music is used to get these little guys inspired to dance. The use of props such as hula hoops, a wobbly balance beams, tunnels, rhythm band instruments, and a parachute enable the young dancers to use their imagination and creativity.
