     We believe the pre-school years are critical in a child’s development. Care is taken to not only teach correct skills, but also to instill a
     love for dance and music. Our classes teach musicality and large motor and listening skills in addition to basic dance technique. We do
     this with a positive, fun, and creative approach to engage the dancers and help foster a love for dance. Care is taken to place dancers in
     the appropriate level class, not only by age, but also by their own development.
