Children’s Classes
Introduction
The Children’s Classes at AAD are designed to assist children with comprehensive motor skill development and to introduce them to the class environment. Students learn in a fun-filled, personal environment sure to enrich each child with confidence and enjoyment!
Are classes based on age?
All young dancer classes are based on age rather than skill level. If a dancer is exceeding in the current level with both technique and maturity, they will have the option to move to the next level anytime during the dance season.
Class options by age:
