Introduction to PETITE DANCE Programs

Our dance programs help children develop:

• Self–concept – through interaction and expression children feel good about themselves.
• Social skills – sharing, taking turns, and relating appropriately to others.
• Creative expression – communicating their feelings and ideas through the art forms of dance.
• Balance – ability to assume and maintain body positions, which is crucial for walking, running, jumping, skating, and learning to ride a bike.
• Bilateral coordination – using both sides of the body simultaneously, even if movement is not symmetrical.
• Concept Awareness – an understanding of specific concept, such as open/close, up/down, big/little.
• Gross motor skills – control of large muscles, such as those in arms and legs. Used in walking, running, swimming.
• Fine motor skills – control of the small muscles, especially those in hands. Used in cutting with scissors, writing, using buttons and tying shoelaces.
• Reflex – automatic response to stimuli and events. An example is putting the hands up to catch a ball.
• Memory – learning and memorizing simple dance routines.
• – and – more…
