Glen Dance Studio

The 45 minute PRE-COMBO class teaches ballet and tap to students ages 3-4. These little dancers are the "heart" of the studio. Although these students are young, the teachers at Glen Dance Studio teach them the correct terminology for the steps. The length of the class, and the mix of dance styles, are designed to hold the attention of young children. The primary goal of this program is to foster a love of movement. The creative component is very important. Scarves, ribbons, and other props facilitate the dancer’s physical expression. Taking part in a dancing narrative helps children understand that dancing is an expression of feelings and actions.
