Preschool Combo Classes – Little Jazzerinas (Ballet/Jazz), Little Acrorinas (Acro/Ballet) and Little Beats (Tap/Hip Hop)
Ages 3 and Ages 4-5
Our preschool combo classes use many elements of creative dance. The structure of the class is beneficial in developing the preschool dancers’ confidence, dance manners, sense of security, and classroom practices. Students explore different concepts each week and apply these concepts to their dance movements. This approach to teaching supports self-expression and transformative learning!
