Improve your toddler’s muscle strength, balance, and coordination in this fun class that weaves together music and movement.
Explore movement through activities designed to improve large motor skills and attention span in a playful, educational environment.
Imaginative movement activities introduce your child to musical, body, and spatial awareness, while developing coordination and motor skills.
Patterns, storytelling, and musicality are the focus as your child continues to build on the fundamentals of dance.
Live music and a ballet setting, where students face the mirror and the teacher, come together to prepare your child for more formal ballet training.
Your child refines ballet steps and learns new ones, while working on balance through fun games to strengthen and support muscle development.
In this fundamental level, proper turnout of legs, pointing of feet and alignment of the body are improved and understood. These elements prepare your child for the continued study of ballet in the Classical Ballet Program.
Youth Modern is offered exclusively at the Newton Studio. Modern dance explores the use of space, movement, rhythm, musicality and the student's own creativity. This elective class is designed to enrich ballet training and help foster a well-rounded and versatile student. Use the learn more link to register for this class.
