Program At-A-Glance
This inviting and encouraging class is jam-packed with fun activities, consisting of song and dance routines that teach gross motor skills, direction, rhythm, levels in space along with a basic foundation in pre-ballet. Use of props, storytelling, and lively music engage dancers’ minds and bodies, while helping to build the child’s coordination and confidence. The First Steps Preschool Program is a two-year series consisting of a 45 minute-long Preschool 1 class and an hour-long Preschool 2 class the following year, continuing to build skills and introducing Tap.
