The perfect class for our smallest movers; Mini Movers! This class is designed to be engaging and educational as the most basic elements of dance are taught. It's perfect for 2.5-3.5 year olds. Concepts of rhythm, space, body, energy, etc. are taught along with the timeless lessons of following directions. This is by far the cutest class at our recitals.

Movers classes, for 4-5 year olds, are based on creative movement and brain dance, using dance and music to develop creative and motor skills in our youngest students, and then developing into more genre-focused classes to introduce skills used in particular styles!
