Mommy and Me Classes

At Best Foot Forward we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to dance, but sometimes children ranging from ages 0-4 can have a hard time without their mommies by their side. Because of this we think it’s appropriate to offer a class where the little ones can take dance class with their mommies! This 60-minute class focuses on coordination, dance movement, and other basic dance techniques and concepts that are great for early development. These classes are perfect for mothers as well because not only will our mothers get in 60 -minutes of exercise for their day, but they get to do so while bonding with their child as well! This class is fun and exciting for babies who are new to dance!

What Is The Mommy & Me Program?

This program is focused on movement, coordination, balance, rhythm, stretching, and basic kinetic skills for your little one. The class is set to music and will feature basic dance steps in ballet, jazz, and tap. Yoga-style acrobatics are incorporated into the curriculum to help with flexibility and an increased range of motion. Parents focus on sculpting, strengthening, and elongating their muscles to form the long lines of a dancer. This is the perfect program for beginning dancers because it allows for the learning experience to take place in a comfortable environment with Mom. All steps are demonstrated with the correct execution of the movement, musicality, and French terminology so that beginner moms and children, alike, can understand the fundamentals of dance together. This program is also designed for those with dance experience who would like to combine a love of dance with special quality time with Mom. Repetition is essential for mastering dance techniques and with Mom as a part of the class experience where students will feel safe and secure, allowing for optimum learning.

Mommy and Me Music*

Music Together® uses music and movement to facilitate the musical development of children, ages birth to four years old. Our approach is simple. We believe that every child has the ability to keep a beat, sing in tune, and participate in music with enthusiasm and confidence. We also believe that children learn best with those whom they share a close bond. The active parental participation is crucial to the musical development of the child regardless of the parent’s own musical background. The Music Together® program emphasizes actual music experiences rather than just concepts about music. Designed to bring families together through music, the program encourages family participation in spontaneous musical activity occurring within the context of daily life.

*This class is a 10 week session and not included in the Best Foot Forward Summer Tuition Prices.

Cost for this class is $150, which includes books, and sing-along CD.
