Ages 3-6
At Bloomington United Arts, we know that a dancer's first experience in a dance class can shape their love of dance for years to come. We invite your little one to try out various styles of dance so that they can discover the styles that they enjoy most. We put some of our most experienced teachers in the classroom with our tiny dancers, knowing that these years are crucial! Your child will build confidence, coordination, rhythm, strength and flexibility in a friendly and child-centered way.
HAPPY FEET Pre-K Program (Ages 3-5)
​
In our preschool classes, we introduce dancers to ballet, tap, and tumbling in a fun yet structured environment. Classes include movement games, stories, and songs to help students learn terminology and fundamental steps, as well as basic choreography. Preschool dancers are invited to participate in our spring recital! We recommend that dancers reach the age of 3 by October 1 of the season to enroll. Dancers must be potty trained.​
LEVEL 1 INTRO CLASSES (ages 5-7)
​
Our Level 1 classes give dancers a solid foundation of dance technique. Recommended for kindergarten and first grade, our ballet/ tap combo, jazz/hip hop combo, and tumbling curriculum will introduce your child to the basic steps of dance to build rhythm, coordination, and memory skills while encouraging their passion for dance at a young age. As the year progresses, we begin to dive deeper into technique and explore more intricate combinations of steps, while incorporating imagery and dance-oriented games to keep the class fun & lively. We recommend that dancers reach the age of 5 by October 1 of the season to enroll.
