Mainstreet Dance Connection
LET US INTRODUCE YOUR LITTLE ONE TO THE
WONDER AND EXCITEMENT OF DANCE
OUR PRESCHOOL DANCE PROGRAM FOR 2 – 5-YEAR-OLDS SERVES THE PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, AND INTELLECTUAL NEEDS OF OUR YOUNGEST STUDENTS.
OUR PHILOSOPHY IS TO PROVIDE A SAFE AND NURTURING SPACE WHERE CHILDREN FEEL COMFORTABLE LEARNING AND EXPRESSING THEMSELVES THROUGH DANCE.
​
WHAT TO EXPECT
THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF CLASSES ARE AN INTRODUCTORY PHASE TO HELP STUDENTS BECOME COMFORTABLE WITH THE OVERALL DANCE EXPERIENCE, THEIR CLASSROOM, THEIR TEACHER, AND THEIR CLASSMATES. RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING, WE FOCUS ON YOUR CHILD’S COORDINATION, LISTENING SKILLS, MUSICAL AWARENESS, AND DEVELOPING IMAGINATION. WE ACCOMPLISH THIS THROUGH AGE-APPROPRIATE MUSIC AND SONG, SIMPLE STRETCHING EXERCISES, BASIC TECHNIQUE, AND GAMES IN A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT.
