Pre-School Classes (Ages 3-4)

JEDEC takes great pride in being well known for our fun and educational pre-school dance programs. Children love to move, play, and have fun.

Our pre-school programs are designed encourage and inspire and build upon a child's natural movement with muscle and cognitive development through music, creative movement and the magical word of dance! Ballet FUN-damentals and terminology are incorporated along with listening skills, team building skills, counting, rhythm, memorization and artistic expression.

Our curriculum also creatively incorporates Ballet and Tap fundamentals in dance classes and beginner preparatory Acro skills in the Acro Classes (and combination Dance/Acro classes) and terminology while offering a range of movement experiences. Structuring creative dance facilitates natural playful movement, development of proper alignment, as well as cognitive, motor and social skills. As an educational form, dance enhances the children’s listening and linguistic skills as well as emotional and social growth and development. This fun and imaginative exploration of concepts help build the blocks for future learning.

Attire: The "Ballet base" of  leotard and tights are worn of the children’s color choice and ballet slippers (leather look, no bedroom slippers look) and tap shoes are worn for Dance Discoveries. Children wear their hair secured and back for safety. Please take note of the Acro dress code if students are participating in Acro as well.

FAQ:  If particular colors aren't required, is there a certain color that that JEDEC recommends for shoes?

Answer:  We find that "Ballet Pink" ballet shoes, and Black tap shoes are readily available and the most commonly purchased.  This can be helpful come recital time as JEDEC makes every effort to go "with the majority" in choosing shoes colors so not to add the cost of having to buy another pair of shoes.
