These
are for ages 2 to 5 years.
Tots classes are a basic introduction to dance for boys and girls
to get the child involved in movement and rhythm and to have fun.
Parents of children can stay with their child during these classes
as often a first class can be daunting at such a young age.
The class will consist of
ballet and tap and are based on story themes (eg fairies, soldiers,
animals, giants etc learning how to skip and gallop with pointed
toes etc). The children are also taught mime and musical appreciation.

The tap classes are based on a basic learning of technique in tap
shoes to begin learning basic rhythms and the movement of the foot
in the tap shoe.
For these classes the child
must wear any loose comfortable clothing to begin with and barefoot
for ballet and a small shoe or trainer for tap. |
