Little Star Dance by Star II Dance
Little Star (pre dance) for children ages
3-5 is an introduction to dance. Our
little star classes are structured as “big

span of our little ones, we find that
it is easier to keep attention by allowing
for 2 subjects in 1 class. This will also
give our youngest students the opportunity
to experience two very different
styles of dance (ballet & tap). Using
fun and age appropriate music, basic
terminology and technique is taught in
this class. Instructor: Stephanie Scott
