TWIRL
Twirl is our unique preschool and kindergarten program! It is apart of our Twinkle Toes, Starlettes, Rockettes, and classes. This engaging program helps your petite dancer learn age appropriate dance steps and proper terminology in a creative, lively and fun setting. Twirl is offered as Twirl Classic for ages 2-5 or Twirl to the Max for ages 3-6! 
All Twirl Classic and Twirl to the Max dancers will receive a custom Twirl book with imaginative activities to do in class! We'll store the book at the studio throughout the year and the dancers will take them home at the end of the dance season! All dancers will also receive a Twirl reward ribbon to keep on their dance bag. We'll add a sparkly rhinestone to their ribbon each week when they come to class! At the end of the season, Twirl dancers will also receive a personalized Twirl Graduation Celebration Certificate!
