Preschool Ballet (Age 3 - 4)

Our preschool program incorporates the basics of ballet with the dynamics of dance through games appropriate to the dancer’s age. Including: stage direction, rhythm and coordination, dancer anatomy and vocabulary. We ask our preschool dancers to bring a “baby” (small doll or stuffed animal) to every class, which starts as their comfort companion, transforms into their dance buddy, and ends up as their audience. We camouflage the learning with fun!
