POPULAR CLASSES RETURN:

*TWINKLES (2-3 y/o):

The Twinkles are our first introduction to ballet and international dance for little students 2 to 3 years of age.  Students repeat the basic ballet steps and also learn folk steps from countries around the world based on the repertoire of Presidio Dance Theatre.

*PRINCESS 101 (3-5 y/o):

PDT's Princess 101 classes are very popular, as they incorporate dance, music, dance history through storytelling, stage arts, and arts/crafts projects. Each week the students learn about a Ballet Princess (from the great ballets) and her court.  Parents have raved about the team approach to teaching this class with arts specialists.  Last semester, Moms put together these classes for their daughter's friends.  It worked out very well and we do recommend that you consider doing this this for a small group of your princesses at a time/date that is most convenient for you.

*The Shirleys (3-5 y/o):

We just love old Shirley Temple movies.  This class is be based on the dance choreography, music, and acting/pantomime from those movies.

Students will require tap shoes for this class.  This is a fun way to introduce young children to dance, singing, and acting.  The Shirleys will perform in our school recitals.
