Preschool & Mini Sessions
Every Big Dream Starts with Little Steps
Tiny Dancers, Big Possibilities!
At TDC, we offer two exciting options for our youngest dancers, both built on the Discover Dance Curriculum, which introduces movement fundamentals through imagination, creativity, and play
1. Full-Term Pre-School Dance
September – June | Recital Participation Included
Our full-term classes provide a structured, 10 month-long dance experience where young dancers build confidence, coordination, and technique. These classes follow a progressive curriculum and perform in our annual recital
2. Mini Sessions
Short, Seasonal Sessions | No Recital Commitment
Our Mini Sessions are a separate, short-term dance experience designed for families looking for a low-commitment, fun introduction to dance. These sessions run for six weeks at a time and are great for first-time dancers!
