Thunder Bay Kids Dance Classes

If you talk to any occupational therapist or educator, they will tell you that a child’s occupation should be to PLAY!  Children learn best in a play-based environment, and that’s exactly what we do in our Pre-school classes!

Play is how young children naturally explore and make sense of their world.  When children play in a safe, trusting environment, they build relationships, learn to resolve conflict, negotiate, and regulate their behaviour.  Our teachers remain flexible in the direction of each class to ensure they are responding to how children are experiencing play.

Each child comes to class with different learning styles and preferences.  One way of learning or participating is not more desired or beneficial than another.  Just as we value each child as an individual, we are dedicated to supporting diverse learning needs.  Our teachers create classroom environments that support multi-sensory learning through visual, auditory, and physical experiences.
Limited spots are available for ages 2 and up.   

So come join us,  and PLAY WITH DANCE!

"Kids: they dance before they learn there is anything that isn’t music." - William Stafford
