Toddler/Preschooler Classes
These classes are an introduction to dance and movement for toddlers and preschoolers. Students develop large motor skills through engaging songs, movement activities and the use of props. Emphasis is placed on creativity, improvisation, positive social skills and an understanding studio classroom etiquette. Creative Movement Stay & Play is a monthly music and movement play group for children walking through their 4th birthday AND their parent/guardian. Children will participate in story time, learning stations (arts and crafts, fine motor activities, etc) and a structured Creative Movement class filled with stretching, singing, dancing, fun props, wiggling and moving. This is a great opportunity to bond with your little one while connecting with other families! This play group is open to both current PTDA families as well as the community, and no long term commitment is required. Attend one month or every single month!
