Ballet Hispanico
 

Adventures in Dance (Ages 2-5)

 

Creative movement and Latino culture merge to form a fun atmosphere in which spatial awareness and self-expression can flourish.


Movement is integral to the development of children. An experience in creative dance can open up a world of expression and communication. Our Adventures in Dance program goes beyond the traditional story ballet to employ creativity, exploration, language skills, and body awareness in building a solid foundation of spoken and movement vocabulary.

The AID program helps students gain the following skills:
  • Physical: Self-control, refinement of gross and fine motor skills, understanding of space and their bodies
  • Social/Affective: Listening, responding, taking turns, working cooperatively
  • Cognitive: Recognizing, recalling, identifying, differentiating and sequencing
  • Aesthetic: Expressing a preference for dance movements, exposure to Spanish culture, arts and language

Note: Registration for the 2012-2013 year will CLOSE on March 30, 2013.
