At our local studio, Kindermusik classes are a special time for families to sing, dance, and play instruments together, all supported by the expertise of early childhood music experts and the latest research. We also help parents to support their child’s development by providing them with tools, tips, and resources to use music and movement throughout the week.

Plus we focus on building coordination, motor skills, balance, and movement in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. At SOCCEROPOLIS, we understand the youth player. Our goal is to bring out their confidence and creativity through lessons taught on the field, helping them to build a strong foundation for future soccer endeavors.
