You're looking for fun and or exploratory dance classes for your 5-7-year-old. Consider combination tap & ballet dance classes. Kids love them and you get to test where their interests lie. Next up is how to find an excellent dance class. What do you look for and what questions do you ask? Here is some advice.

Look for non-competitive dance classes where everyone is friendly and your child will always feel welcome.
Look for a class where the teacher understands that the pace of the class has to be good for your child.

Look for dance studios with specially designed 'sprung' wood floors that 'give' to protect their feet and ankles. Avoid studios with regular wood floors and heaven to bid, run away from dance studios with concrete floors.
Look for accommodating school policies like a 100% money back guarantee if you don't like your class for any reason. Look for clean, bright sunlit studios.

Most importantly look for a school that has expert dance teachers who know how to give your child personalized attention so they will progress faster.

Why We Do In-Studio Performances

Young children love to perform but don’t need to be paraded across a big stage to get that thrill. And three minutes on a stage cannot possibly convey how much they’ve learned all year.

Additional performance opportunities abound for our older, upper-level students including Greenwood Art Walk, Phinney Winter Festival, Seattle Summer Streets, Greenwood Seafair Parade and more.

Our Children's Program Dance Classes

Our Children's dance classes teach to the whole child to dance, think, create and work well with others.

Our Children's Program Dance Classes Incorporate Intellect, Creativity & Discipline.

Kids love to move and when you play music, they dance around the room. Observe them closely and you will notice that they repeat the same movements over and over. They not only have a limited early speaking vocabulary, they have a limited early movement vocabulary.

As they become familiar with movement concepts, they can understand points of reference and perspective. For example, they will take one movement that feels very familiar in their body and with our instructor’s guidance make it into a dozen different movement variations. They'll try it high, try it low, try it backwards, upside down, with a partner etc. It’s all wrapped in fun creative themes and it opens up unlimited possibilities to move, express and relate to the world around them.

Our children's program leverage a child's love of movement with a movement vocabulary and we build on that vocabulary to help them define the physical and social world around them. Dance is more than physicality, it involves intellect, creativity, and discipline. Kid's love our dance classes because they are fun. We make learning dance fun because it works. Like you, we believe that every child deserves an essential dance foundation for a happy life pursuing excellence in all things.

ADI's founder and current director, Elizabeth Chayer, continues to pioneer improved dance instruction practices and has been incorporating them into her school's curriculum for over twenty seven years.

Elizabeth wrote a quick read guide, explaining the must-ask questions to ask dance schools, before you give them your money. She wrote this guide after gleaning the repeat questions from over a thousand school interviews. Arm yourself with knowledge to make an informed choice. It is free and no email address is required.

Children's Dance Classes In A Noncompetitive Learning Environment

We teach to the 'whole child' to dance, think, create and to work well with others.

ADI teaches young children an alternative to 'competition with other students' and this alternative ultimately makes them ideal competitors, happier people, and excellent citizens.

ADI teaches every child to first discover 'their personal best' as a benchmark and not to compare themselves to others who may have more or less natural ability.

ADI's non-competitive environment actually improves your child's ability to learn.

Kid's Dance Classes In Safe Dance Studios

Our Seattle dance studios, located in Greenwood at 8001 Greenwood Ave North, and 3116 West Smtih Street in Magnolia, are ideally suited spaces for children to run, jump and land safely on 'sprung floors', protecting them from the injuries that occur on concrete, mat- covered or even common wood floors. Our dance floors are also steam cleaned daily and are fr

ee of chemical contaminants.

How is a non-competitive class environment better?

To learn to dance requires a lot of concentration. It's distracting to be in a classroom with advanced dancers, who feel that it is their class time and that you are slowing them down. If you feel unwelcome it'll distract you. It'll require more time and effort to learn. Your dance class will not be as enjoyable.

In a non-competitive room full of friendly classmates, you can relax and be yourself. You'll feel accepted, open up, take risks. You'll actually learn more in a shorter period of time. This is what ADI's non-competitive classroom environment does for you and it will make an amazing difference in your learning experience.
