1.Ballet Classes For Toddlers (3 - 4 years old)
Here at Young Dancers Academy, children
are exposed to dance in a fun-loving way, where, apart from learning the
concepts of ballet, they will also learn musical concepts and learn how to
express that through dance expressions.
Our children can express their creativity
and imagination through body movements and they also learn to foster communication
skills in a group setting.
Duration of Our Ballet Classes for
Toddlers
Classes are usually 45 minutes long.
The 45-minute lessons aim to cater to
children with short attention span, which is common at that age.
What Do the Toddlers Get to Learn
• Stretching
The classes include simple stretching.
Most toddlers are amazingly limber, and in this class, your child will learn to
stretch her body and limbs in a safe and fun environment. Stretching enhances
flexibility which is crucial for the healthy development of young dancers’
muscles.
• Enhancing Their Creativity
Children are most imaginative at this
young age. Dancing props are utilized in this class to enhance the students’
creativity and imagination. Be it catching butterflies in the park, picking
flowers in the garden, or swimming with the fishes in the clear blue sea. We do
our best to incorporate imaginative themes into our lessons, creating visual
imagery that allows young children to better understand the dance movements.
• Learn Rhythm & Body Coordination
Skills
The use of a wide range of music in our
ballet classes for children exposes these young dancers to different rhythm and
music. Learning to move around with the music helps our toddlers to learn
coordination skills.
• Learn To Socialize
The classes are conducted in small
groups. Doing so allows children to learn to take turns to perfect their little
steps, and dance in partners. Not only will this help them to practice
socializing with others, but it also helps to build up their confidence level
especially when they are dancing with their friends.
