Level 1. Age 3.5 to 5
Children who are ready to participate independently in class begin learning the basic elements of creative movement and dance. They explore movement qualities, musicality, imagination, and self-expression through movement.
In this creative environment, young children become more familiar with their bodies and learn how to move and coordinate themselves in space. Our playful classes support the development of movement skills, concentration, coordination, and body awareness.
Surrounded by classical music and dance, children are introduced to simple warm-up and stretching techniques, flexibility exercises, and basic body awareness. Each week, we help children develop both their bodies and minds.
Time commitment: flexible – choose to attend one of the classes or two classes per week for faster progress
