Developed with knowledge gained from early childhood development and neuroscience, the ECDE program sets young movers up with a creative foundation that will prepare them for all they do in life-both in, and out of the dance studio.
By utilizing a Montessori-style approach to early dance education, Emily Lofton moderates class for groups of children ages 3-6 as they explore 6 basic principles:
Play is a child’s work
Prepared environment
Observation
Freedom within framework
Mutual respect
Hands-on, sensory-forward learning
By inviting a range of ages into the space to learn together, valuable principles such as teamwork, leadership, patience and problem-solving are all at play. Dancers see their peers explore skills at a wide range of stages, inspiring a desire for deeper understanding.
Please note:
Pre-Ballet students must be 3 years old and socially continent by August of the enrolling school year.
Policy and Procedure:
Kindly remain nearby and refrain from leaving the building during class should your dancer require assistance prior to dismissal.
To ensure student safety, dancers will remain inside the studio with their instructor until an authorized parent or caregiver arrives at the door for pickup. Students will not be permitted to leave the studio unescorted.
Pre Ballet students are encouraged to wear simple, comfortable clothes and ballet shoes. Shoes may be purchased from Movin’ Easy Dancewear. ACMI dress code is required in Level 1 classes and up.
Students must wear street shoes and cover-ups to and from the studio. Ballet shoes worn outside will not be permitted inside the studio, as rocks and dirt brought in from outside can be damaging to the floors.
*kindly note that Registration is valid September-May of the school year ahead, and will be billed in full at checkout. If you would benefit from custom invoicing or payment plans, please contact us for assistance.
