Beginner Class

Nurture individuals and promote culture through dance

以舞育人,弘扬文化

Our Beginner Chinese Dance program introduces preschoolers (ages 3–5) to the joy of movement while nurturing body awareness, creativity, and cultural appreciation. At this early stage, learning dance is not about perfect technique—it’s about discovering expression, growth, and joy.

我们的中国舞启蒙课程专为学龄前儿童(3–5岁)设计,通过舞蹈带领孩子们感受运动的乐趣,同时培养身体感知、创造力和文化欣赏力。在这个阶段,学习舞蹈的重点并不是追求完美的技巧,而是发现表达的乐趣,体会成长与快乐。
