Designed for our littlest movers aged 1-2 years (as of January 1, 2025), the LJR Stars Pre-school class is the perfect introduction to the joyful world of dance. In this program your little one will explore the basics of Ballet, Jazz, Acro, Stretch, and Technique in a fun and supportive environment. Each class kicks off with an engaging warm-up stretch, tailored to nurture the unique needs of growing bodies while promoting safe dance practices. Through a variety of delightful exercises, children will develop essential early childhood skills, including motor planning, balance, muscle strength, coordination and memorisation—all while having a blast. Our young dancers will learn foundational Ballet techniques like pliés, tendus, and relevés, alongside exciting Jazz moves such as hip shakes, stars, bends, and waves. They’ll also experience the thrill of Acrobatic movements like somersaults and bunny hops. To spark creativity and imagination, we incorporate colourful props like rainbow ribbons and fairy wings, turning each class into a magical adventure. Parents are invited to join our Tuesday morning class, where you can watch and assist your little dancer as they explore their newfound skills. If you wish for your dancer to have more independence, on Wednesdays, feel free to relax in our waiting room while your child dances with joy.
