The Dance Element's Ballet, Tap, & Tumbling Dance Classes for Preschoolers led by Studio Director,
Ashley Barnes are perfectly tailored to fit the abilities & enjoyment of 3, 4, & 5 year old dancers.
The Dance Element's Level 1/2 "Combination" Dance Classes for toddlers & preschoolers emphasize Ballet basics, which become the foundation for these students as they explore other dance styles.
Boys & Girls learn new Ballet steps in every weekly dance class, along with the French terminology to accompany each movement.
At The Dance Element dance school in Wilmington NC, preschool dance students learn what the Ballet steps are called and why, right from the very beginning.
Understanding the French terminology helps young students to understand the Ballet & Dance Technique. Our Level 1/2 students enjoy learning a second language while learning to dance, and they are always eager to share their new steps and vocabulary!
Most Combination Classes will transition from Ballet to working
on Tap or Tumbling technique.
The change of pace keeps each dance class exciting and helps to maintain the focus of preschool students.
Tap Dance technique for Children
begins with lessons about
Music & Rhythm!
Studio Director, Ashley Barnes incorporates drums
and musical instruments into Preschool Dance classes,
teaching 3, 4, & 5 year old students different ways
to make percussive sounds with their hands,
while introducing the idea of counting and
following a beat.
Preschool Dancers eventually change into tap shoes and discover different ways to reproduce the rhythms while creating the sounds with their feet!
Girls & Boys in preschool dance classes LOVE learning to Tumble!
The Dance Element's Ballet, Tap, & Tumbling Combination Dance Classes for Ages 3, 4, & 5 include an introduction to Tumbling and Acrobatics.
Preschool Dance students safely learn basic tricks beginning with forward rolls and hand stands,
then progress to more difficult tricks like cartwheels,
back bends, and walkovers.
Movement Games & Improvisation Exercises in Ballet & Dance Lessons for ages 3, 4, & 5 often incorporate the use of props, which feels like "playtime" to our preschool students.
These creative activities teach and reinforce ideas
that help young children understand details
about the world they are dancing in!
Our preschoolers have a wonderful time playing games while exploring important concepts
such as direction and speed.
These fun games and activities enhance motor skills and improve balance and coordination,
while helping preschoolers develop good posture
and building strong, healthy bodies.
The Dance Element's Preschool Ballet & Dance Students perform in our spectacular dance showcases, and they always steal the show!
