DANCE CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Budding Ballerinas
(Ages 1.5-2yrs)
It’s never too early to start dancing! Little ones are introduced to the world of ballet, using creative movement, games, props and songs, all while instructors teach through song.

Plié & Play
(Ages 11-17mos)
For our blossoming dancers ages 11-17 months who are just beginning to discover their dancing feet—perfect for those friends who can't wait to start ballet, but need a few extra months of development. Our class will focus on beginning ballet exercises, incorporating the DWMR curriculum you know and love, with the addition of a live musician. We will also explore music using instruments and props. Class will finish with bubble time and open exploration. This class is ideal for those friends who can walk or walk with assistance. Plié & Play friends will graduate to ballet at 18 months.
