Preschool STORYTIME DANCEâ„¢ Curriculum Ages 3-5 Ballet/Jazz/Creative Movement
This whole dance class is a story from beginning to end incorporating age appropriate skills in ballet, jazz, & creative movement. The dance class begins with a ballet story and then students repeat the ballet skills once more in the same order to traditional music. The story engages them on their level allowing them to learn more skills because they are actively focused for a longer period of time.
