Our Beginner program is designed to bring the magic of movement to our tiniest dancers! All of our preschool classes focus on building independence, confidence, and creativity. Dancers increase coordination and focus while learning through play, storytime, and fun! Our preschool program aids in school readiness helping our young students with listening skills, following directions, taking turns, and entering the classroom independently.
Parents can expect their tiny dancers to learn basic dance skills and terminology in each class style. In all of our preschool classes, students will increase their gross motor skills while practicing coordination skills such as skipping, hopping, galloping, leaping, and balancing. During early childhood, it is important for children to develop skills such as muscle strength, balance, core strength, endurance and coordination. Our classes support developmentally appropriate challenges and skills.
Our preschool program mascot, Lola Bear, adds a magical touch to Steps’ preschool dance classes! Lola is brave, kind, creative, and she loves to DANCE! Each of our preschool dancers will receive a stuffed animal Lola to practice with at home. Each month we have an exciting, themed Lola Dance Party: on this day our preschoolers bring their Lola bear to class! Lola Dance Parties include a special theme, props, decorations, and take home color sheets!
