Early Childhood Dance Programs
Our early childhood dance programs are designed especially for children under five, with their unique developmental needs in mind. Through playful movement and age-appropriate dance activities, children begin to discover the joy of movement while developing coordination, musicality, body awareness, and listening skills. Most importantly, our classes provide a nurturing and joyful environment where young children can build confidence, make friends, and develop important social skills. Through games, music, creative movement, and imaginative play, children learn how to participate as part of a group while feeling supported and encouraged.
Tiny Tots
Ages 2-3 years
(limited class size to maintain personalized attention)
WHAT TO WEAR/BRING: Your little one can wear anything cozy that is easy to dance in. Comfort is key! Ballet shoes are required so they can safely practice first pliés and twirls. Please also bring a labeled water bottle.
Tiny tots is a joyful and confidence-building class designed for dancers ages 2-3 years who are ready to take the exciting step into class on their own. This class is taught with care by Miss Lisa and Miss Kaitlynn. Both have extensive experience working with young children and strive to create a supportive, encouraging environment that nurtures early independence.
Miss Lisa, a mother of 7 children, and a childcare provider for over 30 years, has a true passion for working with toddlers. Miss Kaitlynn has over 15 years working with children under the age of 5 and her Washington State Early Childhood Education Certificate.
In Tiny Tots, dancers explore ballet basics through imaginative activities that develop coordination, balance, musicality and classroom skills. Classes include gentle stretching, simple center work, traveling steps, and playful combinations that build focus, listening skills, and confidence.
Creative Movement
Ages 3-4 years
(limited class size to maintain personalized attention)
WHAT TO WEAR/BRING: Dancers may wear anything cozy and easy to move in. Some love wearing ballet dresses and skirts, but those are completely optional. Comfort and confidence matter most. Ballet shoes are required so they can safely practice their foundational steps and movements. Please send your dancer with a labeled water bottle. We kindly ask that all toys stay at home.
Our creative movement class is the perfect next step into the world of dance. Designed specifically for 3 to 4 year olds, this playful class encourages children to move, explore, imagine and express themselves through music and dance.
Through fun songs, imaginative games and age-appropriate movement, dancers begin developing coordination, balance, musicality, body awareness, and listening skills. Children are also gently introduced to classroom routines such as following directions, taking turns, participating in groups, and gaining independence.
Most importantly, Creative Movement is about having fun and building confidence in a warm, nurturing environment. Our goal is for every child to leave class feeling proud, happy, and excited to come back and dance again!
