Teach Dance through Imagination and Play

When you teach dance in a developmentally appropriate way, you're helping your young students form new neural pathways. 

Dancing Bodies = Developing Minds

Did You Know...

Cross-lateral movement can improve reading skills. Jumping can boost short attention spans.

The science is fascinating. We've done the work to develop dance class materials that go beyond motor skills. We're helping you to positively impact your students' lives far beyond the dance classroom.

Did you know dancing employs both sides of the brain simultaneously, just like playing a musical instrument?

Pretty cool!

You're already well aware how short attention spans can be. What if we told you humans are naturally wired to listen to stories?

Telling Stories = Better Attention Spans

If You Teach Dance to Young Children...

It's true. We are designed to pay attention to stories. Why? Because we naturally want to know what happens next.

We've used this bit of information to help dance teachers completely transform their children's dance classes. Whether it's a tap class for three year olds, or a ballet class for 10 year olds — stories are at the core of all of our lesson plans. They help our teachers naturally keep their students' attention. They bring dance class to life for students.

We’ve heard from so many of our certification course alumni just how much completing one of our courses has transformed the way they teach, the atmosphere in their classes, and how much their students enjoy their classes. It’s time to finally enjoy teaching!

We're here to help you teach children's dance classes to ages 2 to 14 in a way that captures your students' hearts and imaginations, while keeping child development in mind and actually teaching correct skills and technique.
