| Level 1 Program |
| Ages 3 - 4 is an introduction to dance. The primary goal is to foster a love of movement. The creative component is quite large. Several fun or special activities happen in each class. For example, a scarf or flag dance at the end can facilitate the dancer's own physical expression. Taking part in dancing out a narrative helps children to understand that dancing is expression. It is a means of communicating feelings and actions. Children will learn the basics of tumbling on a mat. The vocabulary covered in Preschool Dance 1 is all steps which a 3 year old can master and they build self-confidence. The vocabulary is also set up to prepare students for Preschool Dance 2. Parents will receive assessment of progress of their child two times a year. This evaluation will give parents a sense of class content and goals of the program. These students will have the opportunity to perform in one number in the annual recital.
