BEGINNER BROADWAY STARS PROGRAM
(AGES 1.5-4 YEARS OLD)
Beginner Broadway Stars Program is designed for children in the early stages of life. These students learn the foundations of dance by learning to use the space around them, learning to work in large groups and developing an understanding for rhythm and body awareness. All of these aspects will help your child develop cognitively and socially. This will also prepare your children by learning everyday life lessons such as: taking turns, following directions, listening, sharing, and communicating needs and feelings. In this fun and exciting beginner program, instructors will utilize parachutes, beams (hand-eye coordination), bubbles, hula hoops, scooters, scarves, dance games, rewarding stickers, and so much more!
