Dance Along is the perfect way to introduce young children to the joys of movement and music. With classes designed for children ages 16 months to 3.5/4 years, this early childhood dance program is created with the specific developmental needs of toddlers and preschoolers in mind. Not only will your child have a blast as they dance, play, and explore movement, they'll also build confidence in a group setting. Using fun props, parachute play, music, and their imaginations, your little one will learn movement and music skills in a cheerful, nurturing environment while strengthening the bond with the grownups who care for them.
Dance Along was created to address the needs of active toddlers and young pre-school children while providing a fun, encouraging environment in which to explore dance. We recognize that children this young benefit tremendously from having an adult caregiver that they trust participate with them in class. Grownups can model how to participate, provide comfort for timid toddlers, and enjoy special bonding time as they experience the joy of dancing together.
Dance Along classes introduce creative movement through play, music, props, and songs. Utilizing scarves, shakers, parachute, jingle bells and more to engage little ones throughout the program, our classes give children at different stages of physical development a chance to explore dance at their own pace. Repetition of our class structure and songs provides a comfortable learning environment for toddlers, while new surprises are introduced weekly as well. Our classes develop fundamental movement skills like bending, jumping, turning and stopping while exploring movement concepts such as tempo, levels, and directions. It is the perfect blend of learning and fun for little ones!
