Walnut Grove School of Music & Dance

This fun class is for children age 2 along with Mom or Dad. This is a great introduction to dancing for children just developing their coordination.

Tap dance is a style of dance where metal plates are attached to the heel and toe of the shoe making sounds when the shoe strikes the floor.  It is a very rhythmic style of dance where the dancer is like a percussion instrument. 

Contemporary dance is a style that typically deals with the abstract in both form and content. Unlike other more structured forms of dance the movements are generally intended to be performed with a released or relaxed quality.

This beginner program allows students to take the 2 most popular forms of dance in one class. The jazz/hip hop class teaches fundamental jazz steps and combines the elements of hip hop moves and contemporary music.

The classes offered begin with pre-primary ballet for children aged 5 ½ and older, primary for children aged 7 and older, grade 1 ballet ages 8-10 and so on. The grades of ballet do not follow the same ages as public school grades.
