Our Early Childhood Program is thoughtfully designed for children ages 2.5 through 6, offering a strong foundation in dance and movement. Children explore spatial awareness both individually and as part of a group, develop the eight basic locomotor skills, and learn musical rhythm, beat, and timing, as well as concepts such as opposites and directions. Alongside these physical skills, the program fosters self-awareness, creative expression, imagination, teamwork, and basic awareness of the body and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to dance fundamentals, our classes teach essential classroom behavior and manners that support students throughout their dance education. Children learn to take turns, follow and lead others, wait patiently, collaborate with peers, and maintain a positive attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Research shows that introducing young children to movement sequencing, patterning, and spatial relationships helps build a strong foundation for later academic skills in reading, mathematics, and more. Our Early Childhood Program actively engages students in these areas. We maintain small class sizes and provide an assistant when needed, ensuring each child receives individualized attention and remains engaged throughout the class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Integrated with these physical concepts are the intellectual concepts of self-awareness, creative expression, imagination, teamwork, and basic body\/health awareness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7092,"template":"","class_list":["post-1191","programs","type-programs","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elitefeetstudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/programs\/1191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elitefeetstudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/programs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elitefeetstudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/programs"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elitefeetstudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7092"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elitefeetstudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
