Classes and times
Terrific Two's
Recreational | Tuesday | 5:15 pm - 5:45 pm
Terrific Two’s (Ages 18 Months to 3 Years) Our Terrific Two’s class is specially designed for our youngest dancers and their grown ups. Through music, movement, imaginative play, and simple dance activities, children begin developing coordination, balance, rhythm, and body awareness while building confidence in a fun, nurturing environment. Early exposure to music and movement also supports social development, listening skills, following directions, and gross motor development during these important early years. During the first half of the season, parents or caregivers are encouraged to participate in class alongside their child, creating a positive and comfortable introduction to the dance studio. As the season progresses, we gradually encourage dancers to participate more independently, helping them build confidence, self-reliance, and readiness for future classes while knowing their grown up is still close by. Terrific Two’s is a wonderful first step into the world of dance, creating joyful experiences and a love of movement that can last a lifetime. Dancers in this class also have the exciting opportunity to perform in both our Winter Showcase and our End of Season Recital, giving families the chance to celebrate every milestone and create lasting memories together.
