My son began dancing at 3-D Dance shortly after turning 2. He wasn't quite ready yet, so we talked with the director and his instructors and decided to try again when he was a little older. We tried again 4 months later and he LOVED it! He is now on the Pre-Company team and in his 3rd year at the Creative Arts Preschool Program at the studio.
He gets so excited when I tell him it's a dance day. I'm so glad his teachers were supportive of waiting until he was ready and did was was best for him. They could have just taken my money for those months and my son might have had an awful experience, but really do care for what's best for each individual child.
My daughter is also in Creative Arts Preschool Program. I love that she gets to go to dance and tumbling, as well as learning about artists and crutial preschool learning targets. The Creative Arts Preschool Program is a great way to get her into dance, tumbling, and preschool while giving me a little break. I love hearing them both recite their learning goals in the car "Have fun. Make friends. Do my best."
Another thing that's important to me is that 3-D Dance is the only YPAD certified studio in Texas, which means that all staff undergoes rigorous annual training in the areas of protecting children from mature material and messages, developing positive body image, preventing injuries, developing healthy boundaries, and teaching children discernment and self esteem that will translate to life outside the studio.
I know my children will be kept safe when it comes to costuming and music choices as well as who works in the classroom with them. The instructors are highly qualified and teach the whole child not just what they are working on in class at the moment. We could not be happier with our choice for our dance family read more
