Pre-dance
Our Pre-dance classes for ages 3-5 years are designed to introduce young children to the art and joy of movement by exploring and expanding their creativity. Our experienced instructors will maintain the attention of these young students through musical exercises, dance games and fun props while building co-ordination, strength, flexibility and balance; all of the necessary tools to love dance for a lifetime.
These dancers will be a part of our full year/10 month dance program and will have the exciting opportunity to dance and perform in our spectacular year-end show “dansko Performs!” at the Royal Theatre in June.
Pre-Competive
Dancers that register for our Pre-Competitive Program will train intensively in dance classes of their choice in a non-competitive environment. While maintaining the same technical standards that we do in our competitive program, these dancers will have the exciting opportunity to dance and perform in our spectacular year-end show “dansko Performs!” at the Royal Theatre in June.

Competitive dancers will compete locally and possibly one other competition.

This decision is decided only at the discretion of dansko’s Directors. dansko’s competitive dance program is an intense and demanding program where dancers are required to train as follows:
