Tiny Dancer Program
Welcome to our delightful Tiny Dancer program where your little one will embark on an exciting journey of movement exploration and creative expression! Designed specifically for toddlers aged 18 months to 2 years of age, these classes offer a nurturing environment where children can develop their love of dance while enhancing their physical, cognitive, and social skills. Your dancer will be introduced to the art of dance through creative movement and music. They will learn basic dance steps while exploring their imagination and movement together. The class is structured to provide repetition, so the dancers can feel a sense of comfort each week, allowing them to grow musically, improve their coordination, and balance. Most importantly it is fun, using their interests to learn movement.
