Early Childhood Classes at the Ohman School
The Early Childhood Program at the Ohman School of Ballet is geared towards instilling creativity, discipline and a love for ballet in our young students. The Ohman School offers classes in Creative Movement for tots and Introduction to Ballet for ages 4-6. (Ages are only a general guideline. Class placement is determined on an individual basis through input from parents, teachers and staff.)
Class size is limited in the early childhood program, ensuring one-on-one attention. Our tiny dancers explore the characters and music of various classical ballets, are introduced to classical ballet steps, learn to create their own movements, practice in costume, and “perform” for their parents and teachers.
Donna Florida is a Certified Early Childhood Specialist and has been on the faculty of the Ohman School for twenty years. She has developed a unique pre-school and early childhood ballet curriculum which weaves ballet theater skills, choreography, and writing into the program and uses it in the Creative Movement, Introduction to Ballet, and Mommy and Me classes at the school. She has performed supporting roles with the New York Dance Theatre for nineteen years and in her prime performed solo and demi-solo roles in dramatic/liturgical dance. Click here for her bio.
