Pre-School Programs
Our pre-school program is specially designed to provide very young children with a foundation in dance, movement, coordination, and balance. We teach the basic elements of movement and dance; space and how we relate to it, both as an individual and as a member of a group; the eight basic motor movements; musical rhythm, beat and time; opposites and directions; some elementary positions of ballet and basic tumbling. Integrated with these physical concepts are the intellectual concepts of self-awareness, creative expression, imagination, teamwork, and basic body/health awareness.
