Tiffany's Dance Academy - Pleasanton, San Ramon, South San Francisco, Costa Mesa, Livermore, CA

Fall is in the air and dance classes are in full swing. The teachers are working on building technical skills needed for performance routines. The first part of the year and through the holidays is used for acclimating dancers to the classroom environment and introducing new technical concepts. Dancers ages 2-8 will also be learning special holiday routines to be performed in class for parent observation week December 13^th – 18^th. Dancers ages 9+ are hard at work on finding body placement and becoming familiar with the dance style and technique. As dancers grow in age, so does the amount of technical vocabulary given in class.

Dancers are having a wonderful time moving and grooving to their favorite pieces of music, but did you know that dance actually increases your child’s temporal and sensorial abilities? According to Dr. Phil McGraw, as written in his best selling book Family First, enrolling in dance class is one of the top 15 best ways to create a stimulating environment for your child.

We hope that you are all finding your experience with our school a positive one. We look forward to an exciting year of dancing.
