Creativity, Community, and Communication

Music and Dance are great ways for kids to express themselves in safe and imaginative ways! Our goal is to provide a non-competitive environment where students can learn and play while upholding the four core values of honesty, caring, respect, and responsibility.

First Steps in Music

Baby’s first steps in music! Music has so much to offer our everyday lives and we can start fostering an appreciation for it at an early age. We can prepare our children to become musical in three ways: tuneful, beatful, and artful. As we explore these foundations of music through simple songs and movements, your child will experience a shared community while building expressive and practical skills.

Adults will stay and participate through the class with their kid(s).
