Safety gear is provided, and safe skills are taught.

They spend time learning fundamental dance skills, exercising their growing bodies and enjoying storytelling through dance. A variety of styles will be incorporated including jazz, ballet, hip hop, musical theater and basic tumbling.

Lego® Coding

Children discover, improvise, collaborate and learn STEM skills with the coding software that encourage critical thinking and problem solving. Using both, hands-on tools and established brand LEGO bricks, that are naturally engaging to students, they begin to develop more complex algorithms. Working with bricks, children bring abstract concepts to life that they can touch, describe and innovate upon, while incorporating the experience of both right and left brain. This program also develops children’s capacity to overcome challenges and practice collaboration and communication.

Your child also learns to identify different notes and rests, recognize the difference between the treble clef and the bass clef, and builds fine motor skills as well as spatial and temporal thinking, through the practice of using their fingers. All concepts are taught in a fun, engaging atmosphere that is individualized for each student. Each child also participates in a recital at the end of each ten-week session. This provides a sense of inner achievement and pride for their hard work and improved skills.
