DANCE FOR EARLY LEARNING CENTRES

What Is a Dance for ELC Program?

Our childcare dance incursion is a fun, inclusive, and non-competitive program designed to introduce and engage young children in accessible dance moves and rhythm activities. With ELC programs, we typically divide the group into age categories (e.g., 2-3 years old and 4-5 years old) and run two 30-minute classes for each group.
