What to expect at your first Petit Dance class
At your first Petit Dance class you will both be invited into the class and your child will be invited to choose a mat to sit on. You have the opportunity to watch as they engage in their very first dance class and can capture those moments on camera and film. Don’t be too worried if your child is a little shy and reserved and clings to you. It is perfectly fine for them to sit with you until they are ready to join the group. The teacher will encourage them to join in throughout the lesson.
From your child’s second lesson you will have the opportunity to meet some of our other families in the waiting area. If your child is still a little shy at their second class our teachers will work with you to help to encourage independence in your little dancer.
