About

This is a customized curriculum where children enjoy taking the lead without a caregiver through creative movement, classical music, pantomime, etiquette and nursery rhymes. The children will also learn Royal Academy of Dance Pre-Primary level exercises and technique. Little ones share the storydance in handmade costumes designed for the young child. Children will learn to move with increased control, coordination and confidence; move with awareness of the body and an understanding of how it moves through space; demonstrate a developing sensitivity to music through movement; and express feelings and emotions through movement.
