Creative Dance is an enrichment program in dance and rhythm for the very young child. Physical development is enhanced through body
awareness, creativity, and coordination skills. Dance ignites the child’s imagination. It encourages them to trust themselves and their
movements. It shows them how to connect mind and body while learning to love dance and music. At age 2, children begin learning colors, shapes, and rhythms through dance. They are introduced to simple dance steps, ballet vocabulary, and lots of improvisation. Pre-Ballet curriculum is introduced for ages 3 and 4 as they grow in concentration and maturity. Steps and combinations with more sophistication are taught for ages 5 and 6 with both choreography and improvisation as part of their class. Each year a theme from children’s literature is chosen and incorporated into the curriculum.
