As we celebrate The Dance Foundation’s 50th anniversary, we are reminded of the people we’ve danced with over the years, including families with multiple generations in the studio. 

One such story comes from Rebecca White, whose family’s journey in dance spans our five decades. Rebecca was part of our first classes when she was 3 years old; her mother helped The Dance Foundation founder Jennie Robertson teach the class and her 16-year-old daughter currently dances in our studio.

✨Our movement to music class provides a structured environment for students age 2-4 to imagine, explore, create, and discover. Technique is taught at the right time as students grow and mature, gradually incorporated over the years of study. Classes are accompanied by live piano music. 🎶
Research shows that children learn best when in discovery mode, which encourages playfulness, exploration, curiosity and joy. ✨ 

Our movement to music class provides a structured environment for students age 2-4 to imagine, explore, create, and discover. Technique is taught at the right time as students grow and mature, gradually incorporated over the years of study. Classes are accompanied by live piano music.

We think play and discovery is key to learning at any age. 🤗
