Waddlers (16-23 months)
Waddlers are on the move! Everything – all that climbing, carrying and racing – can appear dangerous to a parent. Turn the daily “follow my child around” into a fun, playful dance activity. You’ll be with other parents doing the same thing.
Toddlers (2 years)
Two-year-olds understand their separate self but are eager to share their discoveries and accomplishments with their parents. Toddlers need practice with fledgling social relations that relieve anxiety about aloneness in the world. This community of children and parents dancing together supports natural development through a play-based dance session.
Threes
The three-year-old can definitely dance on his/her own yet will need to glance back to check in with the parent and will naturally want their efforts to be witnessed by this most important person. Join other families to investigate independence, stop and go, locomotion, big and small movements, shape-making and many dance activities designed exclusively for the 3 year old. Parents transition from fellow dancers to active observers as the class progresses.
Fours
Four-year-olds and transitional kindergartners at Luna enjoy their first dance classes alone, independent of their parents. They are exploring their power and all they can do! Opposites, prop play and story provide an introduction to the elements of dance – the body moving through space, time and energy.
