Early Years Dance Programme

Our Early Years Dance Programme for under 5’s includes music and singing, communication and vocabulary and natural movement. We use toys, colourful and engaging props, movement and voice techniques to enhance babies’ emotional, neurological and physical development.

“The power of early years dance activity and the positive benefits on children and their families are being increasingly evidenced. The early years are some of the most important and creative years of a child’s life, with movement and dance fundamental in the development of children.”
