Our very successful Tiny Tots program for children aged 3-4 years has been carefully designed to provide aspiring young students a sound technical foundation in classical ballet and jazz.
In addition to the focus on building correct technique, students also participate in acting, singing, and fun-filled exercises that help to build poise, confidence, and a love of dance.
In September or October each year, Tiny Tots perform their dance at a community festival. This is a fun and supportive way for many to take their first steps onto a stage in front of a large audience. The year culminates in a spectacular end-of-year performance at our annual concert in which every child is costumed and groomed beautifully.
The Tiny Tots program is the first level of formal dance tution we provide at Centre Stage Academy. Students wear their Centre Stage uniforms proudly to class each week and are dropped off and picked up by Mummy, Daddy, Granny or Grandpa. Family members are welcome to watch their child's progress once a year during Open Week, held in Term 2.
Tiny Tots students are introduced to the Centre Stage Merit System in which students may be awarded a certificate for improvement, effort, good behaviour, politeness, remembering their dance, being a good leader, and so on. This system provides postive reinforcement and an incentive for students to become self-disciplined and motivated.
We consistently receive feedback from parents about how the classes have helped to build confidence, independece, skill, and creativity in their children.
Contact us if you are interested in booking a trial class for your child. We allow parents to stay in and watch the first part of the trial class so that their child is settled, and we do understand that each child responds differently to the class environmnent and some take longer to settle in than others.
