| What can students expect from this class?
Rainbowdance® Preschool is the developmental sequel for children aged 3-5 years. The focus in the program is upon exploring the many dynamics of peer relationships. Children dance the sequences of the Primary program but are challenged toward competency as they embody stories whose themes are appropriate to healthy social development. Focus is placed upon reciprocity and the place of the child in the natural world. Dancers with special needs are always welcome. We will work with you to find the right class placement and offer 1:1 sessions when appropriate. |
