Preschool II Monday

There’s something so special about this Preschool II class on Monday mornings.

“My favorite thing about teaching the preschool classes is getting to be a part of their first dance experience, and watching their pure joy and excitement through the year.” – Mandy, ROOTS Mentor

 

The class’s mentor, Mandy Callahan, has created a fun and positive atmosphere for these precious dancers. Each week, they have a blast working on ballet, jazz and tap technique.

“If you’ve ever taught kids 3-5 years old you know the two words you hear most, all through class is ‘WATCH THIS!!’ When you see a kid show you a skill or dance position you’ve been teaching them and they’re working so hard to get it right, it’s a great feeling that they’re growing as little dancers and YOU have something to do with that.” – Mandy, ROOTS Mentor

We asked some of the dancers to tell us their favorite part of class. Here are some of their precious responses:

“I have friends there!” –  Georgie, Preschool student

“I love Ms. Mandy and my friends I have made.” – Brooklynn, Preschool student

“Ms. Mandy and my friends!” – Presley, Preschool student

Well, we know one thing is for sure…these girls love Ms. Mandy and their sweet dance friends! Most of the dancers in this particular class have been dancing together for 3 years since their first ROOTS Toddler class.

“We absolutely love ROOTS. From the moment we came for Princess dance camp with my oldest almost 5 years ago, we knew we had found our dance home….This studio treats you like family. The girls have fun in class but they also learn technique. Coming from a competitive dance background, I know the importance of both aspects.” – Alexis Cherry, Preschool Parent
