Learning Through Dance

 Do you have a dancer between the ages of 2-5?

Research shows that movement is the KEY to a child’s development. Did you know that a child’s brain develops the most between birth and the age of 5? At JDS we take a brain-based approach and consider the developing brain in our dance education and curriculum. Children this age learn best through play! “Play” in dance class is exploring all the amazing ways our bodies can move, developing movement skills, and expressing our individual creativity.

We have a GREAT Preschool Dance resource if you would like to read more. Just follow this link to see the post and find the file on BAND. As always, if you ever have a concern or question, do not hesitate to reach out to us! You can email the studio at JDSLegacyDance@gmail.com or text/call us at 918-944-6257, or message us through BAND.

Enroll and watch your dancer grow!
