Parent/Toddler (18 mos-3 yrs)
Toddlers respond to music by smiling, swaying, and even clapping their hands! Kids are naturally attuned to sound and rhythm. Simply listening to music has an effect on brain functioning, which may help bring on more creative ways of thinking — sure to help later in school. There are so many advantages to learning to dance and children absorb so much at this young age. We have listed just a few of the benefits below:
- Improved Coordination
- Body Awareness
- Developing Rhythm
- Encouraging Expression
- Having FUN!
Our 8-week Parent/Toddler dance class is high energy! We follow a basic class time structure so the children learn the sequence of the activities and know what to expect. The goal is for the class to be interactive and fun, providing parents and children with a special way to play and exercise together. Clap your hands, twist and turn, and watch your tiny dancer go!
Dancers will perform their special dance routine on the last day of class. Bring your cameras, family and friends!
No costume to purchase, however we will have something fun for dancers to wear for their performance!
Note: Children need to be steady on their feet and usually have been walking for a few months before they start class to gain the most benefit from class.
Dance has played such an integral role in molding me into who I am today. I have taken many life lessons and values learned from dance and have applied them in my daily life. I am not sure where I'd be today without the bundle of self- confidence, time management skills, responsibility, importance of physical activity gained from growing up with dance.
