MINI CLASS STYLES
Ballet
Ballet develops the discipline, grace, and technique that is the foundation for all forms of technical dance, as well as proper posture, placement, and alignment.
Tap
Tap is a percussive dance form that develops coordination and agility by creating syncopated rhythms with the feet.
Jazz
Jazz is stylized dancing characterized by its high energy, intricate footwork, and expressive movements. It focuses on developing proper technique, flexibility, leaps, and turns.
Acro
Acro focuses on flexibility, strength, balance, and agility. Students learn cartwheels, bridges, walkovers, and more.
REASONS TO CHOOSE DANCE AT THIS AGE
Gross Motor Skills
Our intent is to offer truly age-appropriate instruction. Our curriculum is designed to align with the developmental milestones of each age group, ensuring that movements and concepts are introduced at the right time. For our youngest dancers, classes focus on imaginative play and basic motor skills. As students progress, we introduce more complex steps and techniques in a gradual and supportive manner.
Independence
We provide a nurturing and engaging environment where children can build skills to help them feel confident in themselves and comfortable in their surroundings. Our curriculum is designed with clear progression points, ensuring that students build a strong foundation in dance while developing their skills and confidence.
Happy & Healthy Kids
Our philosophy centers on keeping kids happy, healthy, and safe in dance. Our intent is to create a joyful learning experience. We achieve this through positive reinforcement, encouraging exploration, and celebrating individual achievements. Every child is unique. Our classes are structured to allow kids freedom to explore and play, allowing each child to learn in their own unique way.

Testimonials
I love EDMC. My daughter is in the mini 1 ballet/acro class and this is her 2nd year and she’s had incredible teachers. Ms Kathryn and Ms Sarah have been amazing! Just this past week, my daughter was finally able to do a skill she’s been working on and she was so proud. I’m so happy with her progress and can’t wait to continue and see her dance journey.
Justine C.
Our girls love taking dance classes at EDMC! This is our first full season in Mini 1 Ballet/Acro class with Ms. Shaylin. We will be continuing into the 2025-2026 season with even more classes! The girls also love all the fun events that the studio hosts... All the teachers aides are also so supportive, encouraging and kind.
