A Creative Movement class for our pre-school dancers (age 3-5). This class focuses on dance stretches, basic ballet, and jazz moves. It is designed with little dancers in mind! The students will explore dance through games with musical rhythm, fun colorful props, and their imagination. We work on developing motor skills by balancing, jumping like bunnies, princess turns, skipping through pretend magical forests, and leaping like deer! Along with exploring dance, we will also focus on beginning to learn dance class etiquette such as following directions, taking turns, and listening helping them prepare for school and future dance classes.

​Tap dance is a form of dance characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. Two major variations on tap dance exist: rhythm (jazz) tap and Broadway tap. Broadway tap focuses on dance; it is widely performed in musical theater. Rhythm tap focuses on musicality, and practitioners consider themselves to be a part of the Jazz tradition. Dancers will be placed according to ability and lots of homework is encouraged with this style of dance. Tap dance can be one of  the most difficult styles of dance  to learn but once it is. It is one of the most rewarding!
