Come check out our children’s dance classes, and see how much fun dance class can be! Here at Twinkle Toes, we strive to have a nurturing and non-competitive environment for both students and parents our main goal is to inspire the joy of dance in each and every one of our students. Kids should be having fun in dance class and want to come back every week! It is also important to see that your child is learning proper technique and vocabulary and also how to perform in a classroom environment: listening to the teacher, waiting their turn and interacting with peers. Many dancers and instructors have beautiful technique, but the best teachers use play, creative imagery, energetic music and props to encourage learning. Many dance studios overlook the importance of “baby” classes, but here at Twinkle Toes Dance Co., they are viewed as the foundation of the joy and art of movement, whether your child has a future career in dance or just wants to take a great dance class.Īnother thing that you want to look for is a balance of structure and fun in the classroom. Look for an instructor who inspires creativity and joy of movement and who also empowers your child to be confident and expressive. When choosing a dance class for your toddler or pre-schooler, make sure that the teachers and staff are friendly and warm and also give kids the credit they deserve. The most important thing I have taken from my experiences is that if you respect children, they will respect you. My students have been the inspiration for all of my creative ideas in some way or another. I have learned so much from teaching dance to young children. I would like to share this insight with fellow parents of tiny dancers and prospective new students. Being a parent has given a fresh perspective on my teaching in a way that I never dreamed of. My name is Karen Gladis and I have been a professional dance educator for over 20 years and I am the mother of a very creative teenager. How do you find the right dance studio for your child?
