Dance Class Should be About Learning!
Dance is special as it combines tactile and creative learning. It demands the use of four of our five senses, and it encourages problem solving and self-expression. A great dance teacher works from an organized, long-term lesson plan (syllabus) designed to develop a child’s abilities throughout the school year.
