Curriculum for Children Ages 5 to 7
Classes for children ages five to seven do not apply strict technique, but focus on developing the skills and habits necessary for a successful first year of dance technique at age eight or nine. Positive reinforcement and one-on-one attention are the hallmarks of our teaching style with this age group.
For the five- to seven-year-old dancer, we offer:
- Ballet
- Tap
- Jazz
The goals of these classes include:
- To develop a sense of musicality and learn to recognize beats and counts
- To develop flexibility and strength in feet, legs, and back
- To listen to instruction, focus, and problem solve
- To have fun and learn to love dance
