"To truly understand dance and be able to create, perform, and respond to it, a dancer must learn and explore dance concepts." Anne Green Gilbert, Creative Dance for All Ages
At Upstage Center of Performing Arts, our preschool classes are focused on the exploration of the concepts of dance. These concepts are the foundation of dance and we are able to teach ballet, tap, jazz, hip hip and more using this approach.
Your child will be introduced to and explore 11 concepts during their preschool dance education.

We discover quality of movement with storytelling, use of props and obstacle courses. We build our dance vocabulary as we apply the concepts to our ballet, tap and jazz skills.
Most preschool classes are 45 minutes, once a week.
