What Do You Learn in Preschool? Just Ask Our Summer Dancers!

At Granada Day School, learning doesn’t stop for summer. It simply moves in new ways. This season, our partnership with JM Dance Studio is giving children in preschool and elementary the chance to explore creativity, movement, and self-expression right on campus. It’s a joyful way for students to grow in confidence, coordination, and social connection.

What Preschoolers Learn Through Dance

You may wonder what a preschooler actually learns in a dance class. At this age, children are developing the same skills in movement as they are in the classroom. Dance helps them improve focus, follow directions, build coordination, and express emotions in healthy ways.

Each class includes:

  • Warm-ups to prepare their bodies
  • Rhythm and listening exercises
  • Creative movement prompts
  • Age-appropriate choreography

Children are encouraged to try new things in a supportive and playful environment. The structure is balanced with freedom, which helps them gain confidence while having fun.

Why Parents Are Loving This

Families appreciate that this enrichment happens right here on campus. Parents often tell us their children come home energized and excited to share what they’ve learned. Some have even created living room performances to show off their favorite moves.

The program also offers social benefits. Children bond over shared experiences, practice teamwork, and build friendships that often continue throughout the school year.

Join Before Spots Fill

Dance is a wonderful way to keep preschoolers active and learning during the summer. If your child is already enrolled in our summer camp and fits the age group, we’d love to have them join us. This is one more opportunity for your child to explore and grow!
