Ages 3 to 5
Creative movement
A first dance class for ages 3 to 5, built from songs, scarves and a story.
Dancers march, skip, gallop and freeze to the music, and try out ideas with scarves, hoops and a drum. Nobody is asked to stand still for long. A grown-up stays in the building and waits in the family room, and every session has a watch week.

Step 4: Goodbye song
A slow song, a last stretch and a wave to the grown-up at the door.
What to wear and bring
Comfortable clothes that move: a leotard or a plain top with leggings or a skirt. Ballet slippers are welcome, and bare feet or socks are fine for the first weeks. We will tell you when to bring shoes.
Hair up and off the neck
A water bottle with a closing lid
A favorite scarf from home is welcome
