THE INDUSTRY Dance Academy offers a comprehensive children’s dance program for ages 3-6 years old. These young dancers will explore their creative side through dance movement, music, and their imagination in a safe, positive, fun environment all the while teaching discipline and respect for oneself and others.
TINY TOTS (3-4.5yr olds) - Must be in uniform (see dress code above to order)
A 45 minute class designed to address a child’s developmental needs and create a fun dance experience with ballet, tap and jazz/creative movement. The purpose of this class is to introduce young dancers to the three styles of dance and inspire movement and creativity within a positive environment. Dancers also learn basic steps and terminology in all three styles. For example, all dancers will learn what a “plie” is and how to demonstrate one. The use of fun, age appropriate music engages the young dancers’ minds and bodies. The use of props such as maracas for the “freeze dance” makes the end of class the most fun!
