What Makes Dance & Grow Different
Dance & Grow focuses on education through dance. In this class, your child doesn't merely learn dance steps.
Through use of movement, storytelling, play and props, we develop your child's creativity and curiosity for exploration; confidence to express and critical thinking in grasping concepts in a fun way! At the same time, teaching control and listening skills to build discipline and teamwork.
The themes used in the class change every few lessons to keep the lesson fresh and your child excited, while ensuring that the work is sufficiently covered as repetition is key to learning.
Basic dance movements that are age-appropriate and safe are taught, to develop your child's 7 senses, including vestibular and prioproception senses. All of which will help improve gross and fine motor skills, spatial awareness (which increases dexterity and balance) and whole body strength to prepare your child for school. For 2 year olds, basic ballet, jazz and creative movement exercises are taught.
Our nurturing teachers create an environment for self-expression and exploration. Positive language is used to create a supportive environment for development of healthy self-image for toddlers who are learning about the world around them.
We use a variety of music to stimulate your child's curious mind. From upbeat and fun lyrical music to classical and instrumental music, the music will help your child express himself/herself and improve listening skills.
Watch as your child’s passion for life and dance is nurtured through Dance & Grow. For Dance & Grow (parent and child dance classes for 2 to 3 year olds), adults will learn how to bond and play with your child and bring the relationship building back home.
