Our Toddler Creative Movement​ Program at River Rhythms Dance Center is designed for toddlers ages 2–3 years old. This class is structured to meet the needs of a developing young child.

The Toddler Creative Movement​ programs run in 10 week sessions and one 5 week session. There will be 4 sessions held over the course of our school year season (September-June). If your dancer participates in all 4 sessions they will receive a 10% discount off the 4th session.

Toddler Creative Movement​ students do not perform in the recital. The doors for this class are open and parents are welcome to view. Parents do not typically participate in class but if there is a dancer who is slow to adjust, parents are more than welcome to come in the classroom until their dancer feels comfortable participating without them.

Dress Code
Toddler Creative Movement students should wear a pink leotard and pink tights to class. They should wear pink leather ballet slippers on their feet. Please avoid purchasing the silk ballet slippers that are available to younger dancers as they are slippery and can cause slipping in the classroom. Tutus and dance skirts are optional. ​

Our Rhythm Dancers Program at River Rhythms Dance Center is split in to levels based on the age of the dancer as well as their developmental ability. For the most part a child’s physical development and maturity develops with age so this is why classes are typically split by age level. In the circumstance that a child may be more advanced than their class placement, the teacher will approach the parent about moving their child in to a different class that will best meet the needs of that dancer.
