Babies & Toddlers Dance

Creative Movement encourages children to explore movement through music and dance. Young dancers work on coordination, imagination, memory, and musicality, learning basic dance movements in a creative and engaging environment. These 6-week sessions do not perform in recitals.

Dress requirement: leotard or comfortable athletic clothing, ballet shoes or bare feet.

Does your baby like to wiggle and move? This parent-and-child class explores movement through music and songs sure to get everyone grooving. We focus on gross motor development, mimicking movements, labeling body parts, and sensory exploration. Modifications for head stability and any conditions are provided so all babies can enjoy! A parent or approved guardian participates with the child at all times.

Dance shoes not required. We recommend clean tennis shoes for adults and socks or clean, sturdy shoes for children.

Preballet/Tap is an introductory combination class exploring creative movement plus beginning ballet and tap movements through fun exercises and self-expression. A great way to build foundational dance technique and rhythm for little ones! This 8-week course does not participate in recitals. (Note: a full-year weekly Preballet/Tap also runs — see the weekly dance schedule.)

Dress requirement: Leotards and tights or athletic attire. Pink ballet slippers for girls or black ballet slippers for boys. Black tap shoes.
