Explore the magical world of dance
through stories, music & movement!
Designed for children ages 3 - 6, the sessions of our Young Dancer Program inspire young ones to express themselves through movement and music. Vibrant classical music, magical stories and twirling awaits!
Offered as Fall, Spring, and Summer sessions, these programs can be attended independently of one another or one after the other throughout the calendar year.
““I love Ballet Co.Laboratory because it feels like MY home for ballet.””
CREATIVE MOVEMENT ⎪ Ages 3-4
Tiptoe like a butterfly, hop like a bunny! Dancers will be introduced to the basic concepts of rhythm and movement using creative games that expand their individual creativity through basic ballet technique as a foundation. Listening skills, group socialization, and the development of large and fine motor skills are just a few elements dancers will learn. Each class progresses through simple exercises rooted in classical ballet technique, followed by reading a popular story, and making it come to life through dancing!
Each session is 10 weeks in length and ends with a recital.
Dancers must be able to use the bathroom without any assistance.
