Toddler Creative Dance | Ages 2-3 | Enrolling for Sept'26-June '27 Season
Creative movement is a dance class that invites the young child to explore their curiosities and joy of movement. In class, we give space for the child to stretch their voice and embrace creativity. Ballet basics, fun yoga flows, classroom structure, co-ordination, spatial awareness, and teamwork are all introduced through class exercises and specially designed movement games. Parents are to stay during the class as a way for the child to feel comfortable in their first formal classes.
Our current classes are full. We are now enrolling for next season, starting in September

Ballet Tap Combo | Ballet | Jazz Tap Combo | Hip Hop: Enrolling for Sept '26- June '27 Season
Our school offers a warm and supportive environment for dancers to enjoy the start of their formal dance education. In this class, students develop foundational skills such as strength, flexibility, and body alignment while learning basic steps and building their dance vocabulary. We emphasize linking steps together and understanding classroom etiquette, setting up our dancers for a lifetime of movement. Dancers are taught basic steps and learn terminology, with an emphasis on proper technique.
Danielle and staff work very hard to ensure that this transition is the best and most successful experience for everyone.
Our classes this season are full. Please connect to get your children registered for Fall 2026 !
