CREATIVE MOVEMENT ⎪ Ages 3-4
Tiptoe like a butterfly, gallop like a unicorn! Dancers will be introduced to the basic concepts of rhythm and movement using creative games that expand their individual creativity using basic ballet techniques as a foundation. Listening skills, group socialization, and the development of large and fine motor skills are just a few elements dancers will learn in this six-week session. Each class progresses through simple exercises rooted in classical ballet technique, followed by reading a fairy tale, and making that story come to life through our dancing!
Dancers must be able to use the bathroom without any assistance.
