About This Activity
Description
Pre-Dance for ages 3 to 4Saturdays 10:15 a.m.
This course is designed to provide young dancers with a safe, fun and creative environment to explore movement as a means of self-expression and communication. Through interactive exercises, dancers become aware of their body, time, rhythm, space, direction, shapes and levels. They begin to build muscle memory, agility and flexibility to execute pre-dance/pre-ballet movement vocabulary such as plié, relevé, chassé, port a bras, and jumps.

Tardy/Late Arrival Policy: Classes begin promptly at their designated times. Your child’s safety is very important to us, therefore any children arriving later than 10 minutes to their class may not be allowed to dance and may be asked to sit in the studio and observe class for that day.
Parent policy (Pre-Dance): In the event that an issue arises with your child we kindly ask that all parents stay on the premises during your child’s class (potty emergency, injury, behavior issues, etc.). If you are unable to stay, we ask that you make arrangements with another parent.
Parents are not allowed in the studio to observe class unless invited by the instructor. Only children enrolled in classes will be allowed in the studio. All other children must be supervised by an adult. We ask that guests and other observers ask permission from the instructor before observing any classes.

The teacher's determination is final.
