Twinkling Toes is an outstanding early childhood program that provides in-school dance and gymnastic classes to pre-school age children. Twlinking Toes is leaping into pre-schools in the South Forsyth area. We believe that this is the perfect time for children to explore the world of dance through balance, stretching and coordination activities. We want to foster an environment that encourages artistic freedom and self expression. Our goal is to brighten a child’s day by waking the brain and body up with lively dance music and creative play.
Creative Dance Program
Age 2-3
This program is designed as an interactive introduction to dance and body movement.
The class structure will consist of a warm up and stretches on the floor. Then move to standing and focusing on 1-3 new concepts per class. Next the dancers will move to across the floor portion of the class. This will consist of basic movements such as tip toe, skips, marches ect. We will focus on different tempos of music and how to interpret fast and slow tempos. We will incorporate the use of props to help develop fine motor skills such as scarves, ribbons and wands. We will return to center to work on choreography, followed by a cool down.
Pre-Ballet Dance Program
Age 4-5
This program is designed to focus more on proper ballet movements and techniques. Students will learn the five positions of the arms and feet as well as ballet terminology. This class will have a similar class structure as the Creative Dance Program. We will be adding additional stretching to increase flexibility and coordination.
We will incorporate monthly themes along with props to ensure the children are having fun while they are learning new skills. Each class we will provide an opportunity for the children to use their imaginations by asking them to dance like different animals or grow like a flower or use different emotions like sad or happy to express themselves.
Gymnastics Program
