Preschool Tap & Ballet
Preschool Ballet and Tap is for dancers ages 2-4.5. It is designed for our tiniest dancers to gain experience both in a dance class setting and getting on the big stage. Our preschool classes will practice for 45 minutes each week in their special dance dresses and their magical tap and ballet shoes. Each class will showcase their dance skills by performing two dances in the recital - a tap dance and a ballet dance. This class focuses on growth with musicality, focus and memory, following directions, and creative movement. Props are utilized such as ribbons, stuffed animals, the parachute, etc. to enhance motor skills and enjoyment of the movement of dance.
