FIRST STEPS SUMMER
ages 3-5
Enroll your tiny dancer in First Steps Summer Ballet, where imagination is fostered and the world of dance is explored! Interpretive movement and creative games teach young dancers poise, along with the fundamentals of movement and coordination. Our youngest level of students will develop motor skills, discover creative expression, and engage in socialization.
First Steps Summer is for dancers age 3-5 that will introduce the fundamentals of dance. The class structure focuses on building foundational skills and exploring artistry while helping prepare the dancer for the next steps in their dance journey. Students will focus on strengthening their abilities while embracing creative movement and artistry.
New York State and New York City Child Welfare laws mandate that parents or caregivers of children up until age 6 must be on the premises when the children are in class and/or in the building. Children ages 0-24 months must have a parent or caregiver in the studio with them.
