The Pre-Dance Program at Experimental Movement Concepts is an age appropriate introduction to the fundamentals of dance for 3-8 year olds.

Students learn basic ballet, tap and jazz skills, stretching techniques, develop locomotor skills and explore their own movement possibilities while engaging in dramatic play, improvisation and creative movement.

Each class is limited to 10-12 students and is taught by 2 instructors. Miss Ciara, the Kreative Kidz Director, carefully plans each week's lesson and monitors the progress of the students through conferences with her staff as well as the parents.

Children are given the opportunity to perform in front of an audience several times throughout the year, both informally in the classroom and on stage.

It is our goal to make the young dancer's first on-stage experience as enjoyable as possible. The emphasis stays on the joy of dance and the development of self-esteem.
