Recreational Programs

Pre-Dance Program (45 minute classes): Pre-dance is dedicated to toddlers and young children. Our philosophy for this age group is for each body to explore movement inspired by music. Whether it's a classical plie or a body pumping, feet stomping high jump, your child will gain basic dance skills to perform and the confidence to think independently.  This program will build the foundation for success in dance education by developing fundamental skills and basic movements such as:

• Introducing strength, flexibility and coordination
• Establishing awareness of spatial and perceptual concepts (where to stand on the floor, at the barre, in a group)
• Increasing confidence and feeling pride in abilities 
• Willingness to try new things and initiate improvisational movement 

Experienced instructors provide an exciting lesson plan each week, connecting fun to movement. Be prepared for your little one to ignite his or her passion and creativity through dance and change your living room into a "stage" forever!  Pre-Dance consists of these three levels:

Tot’s Dance 2 (parent and child class): Tots Dance 2 provides the perfect opportunity to get your little mover into a dance class with you there for his or her complete confidence. Each week our instructors will inspire movement with music. This program is classroom based only, no performance at the end of the year. Don’t worry grown ups, no experience necessary! 

Dancing Machines: This class is for any 3-year old body that starts to move as soon as the music comes on. As a first structured class on their own, we combine fun with a variety of movements building on basic dance skills each week. Throughout the program year you will start to see increased confidence and pride in creative abilities. Culminating in the most memorable experience of his or her first time on stage at our year-end performance in the style chosen by their teacher. Don’t wait to give your child an experience they will never forget, let that body explore his or her creativity.

Beginner: Students are now ready to choose the forms of dance that excite them the most giving them the chance to build on these styles and refine their skills. In these classes they will learn more independence, confidence, leadership skills and focus all while enjoying the movement and having fun. This is a big step towards understanding the rewarding feeling that dance can bring. From learning in class to dancing on stage this will certainly fill their need for activity and expression.

Recreational Program (1 hour classes): Designed for all levels, ages and abilities. An outlet for students to explore their inner creativity while learning educational skills and improving their co-ordination, rhythm, confidence and social interactivity among many other life lessons. It also gives them an opportunity to perform in a professional atmosphere with an authentic theatre setting.. Our recreational program introduces students to a variety of different mainstream dance styles such as Jazz, Hip Hop, Ballet, Tap, Contemporary, Acrobatics & Tumbling. In addition, it offers an introduction for those who wish to pursue a more serious platform of dance training; our CDC competitive program. This program provides a great way to get fit and have fun.
