Classes

These exciting classes inspire creativity, teach coordination and the fundamentals of dance. We recommend this class to students who are more used to a structured group activity/learning environment. Students develop coordination, strength, dance technique, rhythm, and body awareness in a caring, nurturing environment. Tiny classes are an excellent way for children to gain self-confidence, listening and learning skills and a sense of accomplishment while being introduced to the many benefits of the performing arts.
