Manners Matter (ages 3-8):  Between the ages of 2-5, children are most receptive to learning manners.  Teaching children that there are rules for social conduct gives them social skills that will benefit them throughout their life.  Manners are not just about which fork to use, they are about fostering respectfulness and teaching responsibility. 

Lessons include everything from basic manners (making introductions, showing kindness to others, telephone etiquette, respecting yourself, dinning skills, manners at school, thank you notes) to party etiquette.  Formal dance lessons are introduced in an age appropriate manor, encouraging proper and respectful interactions between boys and girls.   This is a 2 year program.

Groups are for ages  3-5 & 5-8

Proud to be Polite (ages 8-12):  Ages 8-12 can be complicated for children and understanding what is expected in social settings can help build their confidence.  Studies suggest that children who are confident socially have moral IQ - that is they are better equipped to do what is right, with or without guidance.  Topics in this course fall into three categories:  Respect, First Impressions and Communication Skills.  Formal dance lessons are introduced in an age appropriate manor, encouraging proper and respectful interactions between boys and girls.  This is a 1 year program.

Confidence is Cool (ages 8-12):  Prerequisite - Proud to be Polite, or instructor’s approval.  Topics to be covered include attaining confidence, what does confidence look like, situational confidence and dining and party confidence.  Formal dance lessons are taught in an age appropriate manor, encouraging proper and respectful interactions between boys and girls.   This is a 2 year program.
