Dance at Your School
Magellan International SchoolDance Discovery offers classes at the Magellan International School with our professional studio staff. Our degreed teachers come to the school and teach in the activity room on campus each week. Students in Preschool STORYTIME DANCE™ Curriculum classes perform in our annual recital as well.
Preschool STORYTIME DANCEâ„¢ Curriculum Ages 3-5 Ballet/Tap/Jazz/Creative Movement
This whole dance class is a story from beginning to end incorporating age appropriate skills in ballet, jazz, creative movement, and  tap. 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.
The 2024 Recital will be held May 28th-June 2nd, 2024.
Exact dates and location TBA
