Class Overview:

 

The 'Tots' program is for children who are ready to take instruction from a teacher and work independently of their parent. Children are introduced to the idea of working in a group under the guidance of a teacher.

 

Each term follows the exciting adventures of Bella Bear and her friends. The program aims to present a ballet class in a way that will keep a small child's interest by having fun and being imaginative.

 

The class offers:

* Dancing to music

* Use of props (such as ribbons, wands)

* Musical Instruments

* Basic movement co-ordination of gross motor skills

* Basic introduction to ballet steps

* An introduction to concepts such as:

           - Group co-operation

           - Waiting ones turn

           - Following the leader

​

* Class sizes are limited to 13 children per class.

​

* There is NO enrollment fees, and NO set uniform to wear to class

​

* If you have younger ones to look after (that are too young to participate) , you are welcome to bring them along.

​

Themes:

​

​The program revolves around a single theme which lasts for a term, allowing the child to become familiar with the routine of the class. This gives them the sense of security and helps to develop particular movement skills through repetition. There is a strong narrative that runs through all the themes to keep the children's interest, wile learning the foundations of dance and therefore, learning through sense of play.

​

Class Structure:

 

While there is a very strong theme and narrative which runs through the class it is structured like a Classical Ballet class for pre-school children. Each class is made up of particular elements which make up the basics of all dance classes. While it is important to us to give the children a fun and positive experience, we also feel strongly about teaching them the basics of dance.
