In our family-focused Intellidance programs, we are engaging our smallest artists in dance education that promotes holistic, whole, human and self growth through physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development. We focus on inherent developmental concepts throughout the sessions and tie these concepts throughout all The Dance Factory’s educational dance programs.
As a caregiver, you will gain a deeper understanding of your child’s critical developments while bonding, dancing, and playing with your child. Your child will find support for their cognitive, emotional, and physical health growth through researched-based creative dance movement and music programs. Together, you will engage in meaningful and enriched environments that allow for the exploration and integration of emotions, feelings, and dance concepts.
We find that prescribing to these tenets allows for joyful early dance experiences and sets a strong foundation for more technical future dance. It also provides a worldly teaching environment that addresses all types of learners.
We believe in creating meaningful and enriching environments for caregivers and their children. These open, inviting classes explore emotional engagement and social interaction through teacher-directed and student-centered activities. Caregivers will find the cued and rhyming activities easy to bring home and continue exploring with their children. There is so much excitement when you observe your child implementing concepts learned in class across many different areas. These classes will help to support a balanced brain, patterns of coordination, and promote social, emotional, and physical growth.
