12 to 36 months

Mindful Movers

A developmentally appropriate first movement experience for our littlest movers. Through music, movement and sensory-rich props, children explore rhythm, balance, coordination and body awareness while developing early motor skills. Teacher or caregiver participation is incorporated when appropriate.

School-Age Dance

Age-appropriate jazz and hip hop classes that build coordination, musicality, body awareness and foundational dance technique. Dancers learn choreography, develop confidence and performance skills, and are encouraged to express their individual style while continuing to grow at their own level. Classes can also be tailored to focus specifically on jazz or hip hop based on the needs of the school or program.
