Category
Location
952 Alexander Road
West Windsor, NJ 08550
Summary
Each class includes a warm-up, basic technique, across-the-floor exercises, a short choreographed routine, creative movement activities, and a cool-down. Dancers are encouraged to express themselves, work cooperatively with classmates, and build confidence as they develop musicality, body awareness, and a love of dance. No prior dance experience is required.
What should my child wear and bring to class?
Please have your child bring a water bottle, hair ties (to keep long hair securely pulled back), and clean sneakers or jazz shoes. For safety, children should not dance in socks, as they can be slippery and increase the risk of falls. Jazz shoes are for studio use only and should not be worn outside, as outdoor use can damage the soles and track dirt onto the dance floor. Comfortable clothing that allows for movement is recommended, such as sweatpants, shorts, T-shirts, leotards, or tights. To help students stay focused, please leave cell phones and other electronic devices at home whenever possible. If a child needs to bring a phone for transportation or emergency purposes, it must be turned off or set to silent and kept in their backpack throughout class.
