About Happy Feet Dance Studio

Happy Feet Dance Studio is committed to providing the highest quality dance training in a professional but personal and friendly environment for children ages three and up. Our noncompetitive approach to children’s dance education develops attributes that can serve your child well throughout a lifetime. These include discipline, self-confidence, improved learning skills, creativity, self expression, imagination and an instilled appreciation for music, dance and other art forms. We emphasize strong dance technique that begins in our youngest classes and is developed and reinforced as each child progresses. Class sizes are limited so that we can ensure the proper attention is given to each student. Our goal is to instill a love of dance and movement. Students are encouraged to dance with body and soul!

Our Curriculum

Minis1 (age 3-4) & Minis2(age4-5)

The minis program (1 and 2) is a stimulating, fun and imaginative approach to creative movement as well as an excellent introduction to the study of dance. Students learn body awareness and develop a dance vocabulary. The class offers a unique way of exploring music, rhythm, movement, posture, agility and grace all in the context of fun and imagination! There is also a tumbling portion of the class.

Dance Basics 1 (kindergarten) & Dance Basics 2 (first grade)

These classes combine three elements of dance- ballet, tap and jazz in a one hour format. The fundamentals of each of these dance disciplines is introduced, and age appropriate skills are developed in a supportive and nurturing environment. Students learn to hear and count music and demonstrate various rhythms through tapping. As they progress, students develop both technique and vocabulary in all three areas of dance with closer emphasis on posture, placement and movement potential.

Demonstration Day

At the end of the year, in lieu of the traditional high pressure and costly recital, our students will enjoy an informal demonstration performance highlighting classroom progress and achievement. In this way, the focus throughout the year can remain on education rather than preparation.
