Dance Programs and Curriculum

Small Fry Dance Club is a preschool dance program designed to give young students a survey style class that covers basics in tap, ballet, jazz, creative movement, and yoga. Our goal is to help each student find a place for dance in their life.

No matter the degree of each child's dance goals, discovering movement should be nothing but empowering. Through dance, Small Fry teaches children to be creative, physically fit, flexible, confident, and artistic.

What sets us apart from other Dance Schools?

Small Fry Dance Club is perfect the perfect way for children to be introduced to dance. We are a stepping stone to a dance studio. We offer the convenience of teaching classes at your child's school. This allows you to expose your child to dance without adding to your busy schedule. Many parents have told us that they love our low stress performances. They also love our instruction style, which caters to young children.

SFDC and beyond...

The Saturday morning studio classes are the start of something much bigger. We expect to open a dance studio of our own in 2011. This will be for dancers of all ages. It would be the perfect way to continue dancing after you graduate from Small Fry Dance Club.
