At Inland Northwest Ballet of Spokane

Giggles & Wiggles is a fun class that introduces young children to the fun and exhilaration of moving to music. Little ones ages 2.5 - 5 learn basic class structures including following direction, taking turns, following the leader, forming a circle or a line, and working with peers. Our patient instructors engage the child's creativity with energetic music, while focusing on the fundamentals of ballet movement. We use tutus, wings, ribbons, tiaras and many other props to stimulate the imaginations of our little ones! This :30 class is a non-performing class, for dancers not quite ready to memorize choreography, or for those who want ballet training without a performance. NOTE: If you are deciding between Giggles and Wiggles and Creative Dance, know that Giggles and Wiggles students are given more time to complete activities, while Creative Dance students are usually able to follow instructions with little delay. Your child should be able to sit down, stand up, go to a dot, stand on/near that dot when instructed, etc. If your child is not ready to follow basic instructions, as much as any child of this age can follow instructions, :) and runs wildly around the studio, screams, or is otherwise very distracting to the others in the class, we may bring them out to the parent for a chat to help them refocus. If this continues repeatedly, we would love to chat about holding off and offering a complimentary class in the future when they are more ready to follow along...:) Dancers wear a pink leotard, pink tights, pink ballet slippers with bows tucked in, and hair in a bun.
