Using our own syllabus, KICKS’ Fundamental Program is especially designed for children ages 3 through 6. Keeping in mind the developmental abilities of each age group, these classes emphasize basic dance skills, creative movement and classroom etiquette. To ensure that every class is exciting and fun, we incorporate “prop dancing” into many of the activities. With the use of scarves, bean bags, rhythm instruments and many other props, students will learn the basic elements of dance movement: balance, body & spatial awareness, rhythm, coordination and quality of movement. With the emphasis on creative expression and physical awareness, you can be assured that your child is receiving a solid education and learning to love dance at the same time!
Dance Classes for 3* & 4 Year Olds / Creative Dance
Class Title: Fundamental A
Class Length: 45 Minutes
Class Description: The objectives for this class are to build a love for dance, discover movement as a form of self-expression, master basic developmental skills, get comfortable with standard classroom etiquette and introduce musical awareness skills. Students will learn through repetition and imitation. Consistency in class structure provides an atmosphere that will give dancers a feeling of control and accomplishment. Imaginations will be stimulated and coordination skills will improve as they fly like birds, pop like popcorn or “dress-up” for a special Ball. Other areas of focus will include body & spatial awareness, large & fine motor skills, coordination & balance skills and group participation.
Recital Participation: Students in this class will perform one routine in the year-end recital

Class Title: Fundamental B
Class Length: 1 hour
Class Description: Students at this level will be challenged to maintain focus and energy for a longer time period as their lesson is now extended to a full hour (1/2 hour each of Tap & Ballet). Basic Ballet terminology will be presented, along with steps that can be executed properly. In Tap, dancers will gain increased rhythmic & coordination skills. Creative expression is developed more fully, with the continued integration of props, and students will be encouraged to express their independent thinking skills during creative activities rather than always imitating the teachers’ movements.
Recital Participation: Students in this class will perform two routines in the year-end recital
