A fun and friendly atmosphere designed to introduce your little one to movement and dance while working to develop gross motor skills. For many, this is their first classroom environment, and so we work to improve listening skills and following direction. Emphasis is placed on maintaining a fun environment where little ones can learn to love to dance, while also developing structure and self control.
