First Steps Trial

This fun class is a great way to introduce your child to the wonderful world of dance. First Steps Ballet is designed to improve coordination, encourage imagination, and develop physical and social skills in a developmentally appropriate environment. For three to four-year-olds just beginning their dance journey, this class provides all the building blocks needed to establish a strong foundation for dance. Students learn through stories, creative movement, and instruction. This class is a prerequisite for Pre-Primary and is the first step after Parents and Tots, where children participate independently without a guardian present in the classroom. An end-of-year recital in the Spring gives dancers the chance to perform and celebrate their progress.
