Why is dance beneficial for Little Children? 💛

Through our Babies classes and our Younger Years Programme we are able to provide little ones with the tools they need to progress both in and out of class. Meaning that not only are we providing the building blocks of dance technique but also life skills!

Check out the above post for more reasons why dance is beneficial to little children 🩵

Our Fet Lor preschool class was all ears on Saturday listening to Miss Amy 🩷

Any ideas what Miss Amy was talking about? 🤔

“Educate with your heart, not just your mind.” 🩷

Building positive relationships with students (no matter how little!) allows us to create a safe & welcoming atmosphere for everyone ✨

Boo! I’m a buzzy bee 🐝

Our Younger Years Dance Programme is full of adventure teamed with skill development. Perfect for growing minds and bodies 🐥
