Pre-Ballet / Tap / Jazz

*Level = Beginners

*Advised age = 3 1/2 – 5 Years old

Our “Pre” program welcomes young children into the exciting and joyful world of dance.

The program has been designed to introduce young children to the building blocks of posture, stretch, creative improvisation and rhythm.  This is taught through a series of exercises, stories and songs that lay the groundwork for proper dance technique.

Basic elements of stretches, warm-ups, taking turns, traveling steps, mime, dance class etiquette and many more are introduced.

They will start to incorporate individual dance steps into combinations, work on coordination skills using both arms and legs, including right and left distinction.

Our inspiring teacher holds your child’s interest, and the class will be positively affecting your child’s self esteem and nurturing their imagination & creativity.

Dancing through stories, using play props such as scarves, crowns & dressing up  also helps provides a magical experience that will leave them asking when their next dance class at DDA is !

This is an independent participation class and is suitable for boys and girls.

Dakoda’s Dance Academy ask that all young dancers meet the minimum age requirement by September 1st. Students are then placed according to age. During the first two weeks of classes, teachers may suggest a different class or level.

We ask that all young dancers go to the bathroom before the start of class and should be met by the door of the studio at the end of their class.
