Under 5 Programs
About
About
These programs are the heart of our studio community. The instructors at Warmland Dance recognize the importance of developmental movement throughout early childhood.
Led by M.Ed and Waldorf-trained Artistic Director, Leah Burley, our imaginative, story-based "Under 5" classes support a healthy and holistic unfolding, for every child.
What to expect from class:
Our classes lovingly introduce children to a teacher-led setting, provide positive social opportunities, seamlessly and playfully reinforce healthy motor development, encourage optimal neurological development, and provide a foundation for movement fluency. Our focus is fostering joy, confidence and a lifelong love of movement.
