Early Childhood Program (Ages 18 mos.-6 years)

Early Childhood Program (Ages 18 mos.-6 years)

Early childhood is a time for young dancers to be introduced to dance and music concepts primarily through the medium of play-based activities. Classes are 45 minutes long and are held weekly in eight-week cycles, allowing families the flexibility to participate as schedules allow.

Classes included in the Early Childhood programs are We Dance: Toddler and Grown-up Movement (formerly Parent and Toddler Movement) and Creative Dance. We Dance (ages 18 mos.-4 years) classes cover different themes in each cycle but repeat many of the same movement and dance concepts. Creative Dance (ages 4-6) classes classes are taught in a more progressive style, and students are encouraged to enroll in consecutive cycles of eight-week classes. As students progress through each of these programs, they will be gently scaffolded away from needing caregiver support to participating in drop-off classes and trying out basic technical skills that will prepare them for further study in a multitude of dance genres.

The majority of our Early Childhood classes are held at the Mark Morris Dance Center. We are happy to continue partnering with the Brooklyn Music School to deliver additional classes during the week. Join our email list to receive email alerts about registration.
