This class combines the basics of dance along with the basics of music. Many concepts in both music and dance such as rhythm, expression and listening skills complement each other and this class helps the child develop stronger skills in both music and dancing. This class is taught by 2 instructors – one a specialist in dance and the other a music instructor specializing in preschool music. Level 1 is for ages 3-4 and level 2 for ages 4 ½ - 5. The individual components of each portion are identical to taking preschool music or preschool dance as their own separate classes. Song and Dance just puts the classes back to back to make the schedule easier for parents wishing to enroll their child in both music and dance.
Our students enjoy lots of personal attention in our small classes with only 8 students per class. The children greatly benefit by having a specialist in preschool dance for the dance part of the class and a specialist in preschool music to teach the music part. The class is 1 hour long with ½ hour of dance and ½ hour of music. The music component takes place in the preschool music room and the dance component takes place in one of the dance studios.
In the music part of the class students will:
- Enjoy lots of singing to teach many musical concepts

In the dance part of the class students will:
