CLASSES
PARENT AND ME CLASS
Parent and me class is a wonderful stepping stone to introducing your little to a classroom. This program is designed in an 8 week session with the intention of transitioning your little dancer into a classroom comfortably. It is a fun class that focuses on the adult and child experiencing things together and acclimating to a new environment. You get to be with your child interacting and creating smiles and memories together in a playful and imaginative class. The class will teach following directions, socialization, large motor skills, and self confidence. At the end of this session, you can choose to sign up for more sessions, if you feel your dancer isn't ready to transition into a class alone or is still to young to, or your dancer can move to the next level into Tiny Tots and attend class alone with you relaxing in our parent room observing through our class windows.
