Children build knowledge and skills through continuous and evolving processes of instruction. Our program for our youngest dancers is organized in this evolving form allowing for children to actively build new learning and understanding. We work at keeping class interesting by utilizing music, props and storytelling. We sing and dance songs that children already know and love while learning new songs to perform for one another. In addition to Dance technique, we work on social and emotional goals, such as the feeling of accomplishment and pride a young dancer gets when mastering new or challenging technique. We guide our young dancers with life skills such as waiting a turn in class or partnering in song and dance. The inclusion of these fundamental skills has a beneficial impact on the experience of our students both in the Dance studio and outside in everyday life. Above all, we aim to nurture and fulfill your young dancer’s development and joy in activity.

 

 

 

We specialize in Mini-Dance Programs at Annex Dance Academy. This year we are excited to announce our new specialized programs for our youngest dancers.

 

Dancers will work on improvising, manipulating rythmn, musicality and develop flexible thinking.

 

Cognitive Competencies:

Dancing helps develop a child’s vocabulary of symbolism; sizes, shapes and colours and provides guidance for paying attention until a task is complete.

 

Social Competence:

Dancers interact with other, express and control emotions, practice sharing, taking turns and having and being friends.

 

Health:

Refining large motor skills, understanding safety concerns, developing trust in their own capabilities along with the obvious effect on physical fitness are some of the health benefits of dancing.
