Children's Classes
Delightful age-centered classes for 3, 4 & 5 year olds. Children are
encouraged to develop important skills while having fun, as they
sing, listen, think creatively, and express themselves through
movement.
Young dancers will be exposed to a variety of musical styles -
classical, traditional, multicultural, and contemporary. They are
encouraged to listen and explore music through movement, and to hear
it rhythmically. Each child’s unique creativity and imagination is
valued in this program.
Has your little one always wanted to dance to beautiful classical music, jumping and swirling and floating around the room?
BALLET
is for you! We'll focus on the basic
French terminology, stretching and coordination exercises, positions of ballet,
proper posture, and rhythm exercises.
If you've noticed your child clapping to the beat or banging on pots and pans, you may have a
TAP
dancer in the making! Tap is great fun, allowing kids to make music and dance with their feet at the same time! We'll focus on lots of beginning steps with plenty of fun and rhythm thrown in!

fairytale magic, as we dance to our favorite princess music,
such as Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and other
fairytale songs. Our day includes dancing, dress up, story time,
princess crafts, etiquette lessons and more! At the end of our
last day, there will be a tea party with the “Queen Mothers” and
special performance for parents, where they can watch their
princesses perform a beautiful and magical routine.

WATER BUGS
(Ages 5+)
Spend 3 days splashing through Potter run and the Spring Pond on
PAA’s grounds with Mr. Chuck, a Penn State Biology Grad and
former Biology and Entomology research assistant. Learn about
the life of a stream by capturing May Flies, Caddis Flies and
their nymphs, crayfish, fish and maybe a frog or two! Learn
about the food they eat and where they live in the stream. With
some special help from the Clearwater Conservancy, we’ll find
out just how healthy the water in our stream and spring are!
