“3 Things Every Pre-School Parent Should Know Before Choosing a Dance Studio”

1. What age is appropriate to start my preschooler?
Each child is different, however the average age to begin dance is 3. This is when children are most accepting to new things. Our studio changes the curriculum every few weeks introducing new movements, games, and songs.

2. What if my child will not go into the class without me?
This is a normal reaction for children of this age. Sometimes a new place and teacher can be scary for them. Our studio asks that you encourage your child to enter the classroom without you, explain you will be in the waiting room with the other parents if he/she needs you. Usually there biggest fear is that you will not be there when they come out of class. However, we will invite you in to the classroom, if needed to help with the transition. After a few weeks they realize this is a safe, fun place and will no longer need you.

Why can’t the parents stay in the classroom?
The children act differently when parents are in the room. When they are asked to do something new and it may be difficult for them, they will cling to you rather then experience the new adventure. They will also look for, and react to, your approval. Our studio offers a “Mommy & Me” program for the younger child who is not quite ready to be without Mom.

3. How will I know if my child is dancing?
The most important thing for your child is to have Fun, Fun, Fun! If the children enjoy themselves they will continue for years to come. We take pride in our retention rate. Our Scholarship program, “Come Grow with Us” acknowledges our students for their continued education, with monetary rewards for the amount of years they have danced with us come High School graduation.

Our goal is to provide our students with the skills they need to enjoy dance for a lifetime and to provide our families with outstanding customer satisfaction.
