Parents and teachers love seeing boys and girls thrive with our age-appropriate friendly music, dance choreography, fun fitness, playful movements, and imaginative activities while the children build self-esteem and self-confidence.

Kinderdance® programs are designed to be an integral part of a preschooler’s “school day” and afterschool child’s schedule. Many of our programs take place where children’s other learning occurs, in childcare facilities. Additional teaching locations can be found in other numerous venues such as local community centers.

Kinderdance® programs blend educational concepts with various forms of movement, dance, and gymnastics. The programs help develop gross motor skills, movement creativity, fitness, and body awareness. Each class is taught using lesson plans which incorporate original and traditional age-appropriate music and songs.
