Kindness in Motion

You are here: Home / Classes / ZZ Stars (3-6 yrs)

Happiness, movement and a love for dance is what you’ll find in our ZZ Stars program. For boys and girls ages 3 to 6, we offer a variety of classes, days and times to fit every schedule. Classes are created to promote motor and listening skills, musicality, creativity and an introduction to the art of dance. This is a full-year program. Dancers will gain self-confidence and stage skills by participating in our 3 ZZ performing events – ZZ Watch Week, ZZ Annual Recital & ZZ Gives. Our talented group of ZZ Mentors will guide our dancers through our unique syllabus which focuses equally on dance technique, performance skills and the importance of kindness and compassion. As a part of the ZZ Community, dancers, families and staff will work together towards putting kindness into motion.

Be a part of the FIRST EVER ZZ dance season! Classes begin September 10, 2020. Registration is now open! We have limited our class sizes for next year to accommodate social distancing, so they will fill up fast!

To determine the right class for you, calculate your dancer’s age as of September 30, 2020. When you click sign up, you will be able to see additional class details including the ZZ Mentor teaching that class. If your desired class is full, please continue to register for it and join the waitlist. We encourage you to register for a second option to ensure you reserve a spot, but we will do our best to move you into your first choice class.
