Primary Curriculum

Teachers of classes for 3-6 year-olds, get inspired!

I believe all dance students are better served by teachers who do not have to re-invent the wheel.

I share my curriculum freely with the hopes that together we teachers can raise the quality of the classes we prove for our youngest students.

Dance education matters!

Primary Curriculum Main Objectives:

Emphasize students’ exploration process during each class session over the final dance product at the end of the year.

Expose students both to foundational technique in classic dance styles—primarily ballet and tap—and to developmentally appropriate activities to interconnect their mental, physical, musical, social, emotional, and creative growth.
