KINDERBALLET
Smashed It Dance is incredibly proud and excited to bring Kinderballet™ to the Sutherland Shire of Sydney. Australia’s most loved preschool ballet program.
The aim of Kinderballet™ is to introduce the basics of Classical Ballet through imagination and creative movement
Kinderballet™ is a ballet program developed specifically for children aged between 2 and 8 years of age as an introduction to Classical Ballet. The challenge with teaching this age group is to hold their attention while introducing them to basic movement principals.
At Kinderballet™, the children learn Classical ballet steps and develop basic gross motor skills through imagery and story-telling. The programs are strongly influenced by current pre-school education trends in teaching through play.
KINDERBALLET PROGRAMS
