Early Childhood Classes

The Early Childhood Division is designed to provide boys & girls a FUN introduction to dance, musical theater and tumbling, in a playful, encouraging environment! Classes are grouped into age-specific levels for 2 to 6 year olds and meet once a week for 30-55 min, depending on age. Content is based on age-appropriate developmental skills. In all classes we integrate the concepts of self-awareness, teamwork, creative expression, musical awareness and imagination. Research shows that training young children in these concepts lays a strong foundation for the later development of reading, mathematics and other educational skills. Children also learn the basics of classroom behavior and manners.
