Parent & Dancer
Introduce your little one to the joy of dance in our Parent & Dancer program, specially designed for children ages 18 months to 3 years and taught using the Discover Dance Syllabus. These classes provide a warm, nurturing environment where toddlers can explore movement, rhythm, and creativity while developing early motor skills and coordination.
At this stage, a parent or guardian is required to participate in the room, helping your dancer feel supported as they learn, explore, and build confidence. Midway through class, we enjoy a short nut-free snack and socialization break, giving little ones (and grown-ups!) time to connect and recharge.
Please sign up for all sessions individually and be aware of session dates, found below the class name.
