Your child will thrive in the exciting MCPA Children's Program! Beginning with Creative Movement at age 2.5, your child will have a great time as she learns proper dance terminology wrapped in an engaging, easy to follow, child friendly format.
With enthusiastic teachers, plenty of safe space to explore and learn, and a comfortable nurturing environment, your child will love dance classes at MCPA!
In a MCPA pre-school age class, your child will learn classroom skills, develop motor skills such as skipping and balance, work on rhythm and musicality, and build a solid base of dance terminology from which she can grow in the future. As your child grows, the program expands to offer tap, jazz, and many performance opportunities. And if you are interested, your child can audition for our year round training program for even more opportunities!
You will delight in your child's performance as they take the stage every season. Nothing compares to her smile as she performs her first plies and pirouettes... except maybe your pride as she grows and matures into a graceful dancer, confident in her performance and shining on stage.
