Pre-School Danz

Danz Studio pre-school Danz class is for children aged 3&4 years. It’s the first introduction to dance incorporating different styles of music, rhythm, balance & coordination. Learning left from right and understanding how the body moves, improving posture and strength. The class is kept fun, and a lot of work is understood through ‘games’ At this developmental age a child has certain ability, so rather than learning the same thing in a different pair of dance shoes, this class covers it all in one.
