Creative Dance Classes
Our creative dance classes focus on the development of the whole child. Dancers develop technique through traditional modern and ballet exercises. In addition, they exercise their creativity and imagination as they explore the elements of dance through age appropriate movement. Dancers are given opportunities to improvise, engage in creative problem-solving, and grow in cognitive, social, and emotional ways as they interact in each class. All classes have live accompaniment by experienced and engaging musicians to expose dancers to a variety of musical genres. Kindergarten and older classes will participate in one proscenium performance each year at Kingsbury Hall as part of the annual spring Tanner Dance Studio Show.

PARENT-TOT CLASSES
Classes begin the week of August 19, 2024
The innovative Tanner Dance Parent-Tot classes are designed to cultivate the joy of dancing and movement while encouraging exploration through creative ideas and springboards. Each class incorporates age-appropriate technique and experiences that promote whole body development. Children are introduced to various movement concepts such as galloping, skipping, sliding, running, leaping, jumping, and hopping, fostering a sense of spatial awareness and coordination. Throughout the classes, dancers engage with shape, space, rhythm, songs, and literary elements, enhancing their expressive capabilities. Live accompaniment by experienced musicians further enriches the experience, fostering a natural connection between music and movement. In Parent Tot I and Parent Tot II, children participate alongside a parent or caregiver, while in Parent Tot III, dancers independently explore the class under the guidance of the teacher while parents wait in the lobby outside the classroom.
