Sparkle Program
The Sparkle Program for ages 3-6 is based on the Leap 'N Learn early childhood dance training method.
Leap 'N Learn gives children a strong foundation in dance while keeping the movement on a child's level so they are always engaged while mastering new skills.

CHOOSE THE BEST FOR YOUR CHILD
Don't settle when it comes to your child's dance education. Leap 'N Learn studios excel at teaching creative movement and ballet based in education. All of our licensed dance studios go through thorough training and monthly check-ins to produce the best dance teachers around and to maintain the highest quality of teaching for young students. If you walk into any Leap 'N Learn studio, you'll see that these dance classes are welcoming environments that encourage effort and creativity, which brings out only the most positive side of dance. Our proven dance theories from master dance teacher Beverly Spell and child psychologist Dr. Annie Spell will keep your young dancers happy and learning.
Our early childhood dance program is specifically designed for boys and girls between the ages of three to six, and our seven year old program and Ballet I programs are designed for dance students ages seven to ten. Leap 'N Learn helps build strong foundations in dance and movement. These skills benefit the dance students for later roles in life both in general applications and for transitioning into adult ballet.

Leap 'N Learn also helps children learn the basics of classroom behavior and manners, which include learning how to take turns, following another dancer or leading the way, waiting patiently, working together with others, and having a positive attitude.

Leap 'N Learn classes in the early childhood program are grouped into age-specific levels for three- to six-year-olds, with the content based on age-appropriate developmental skills. Then Leap 'N Learn's 7 Year Old and Ballet I programs are grouped for seven- to ten-year-olds by age and experience that will best benefit a deeper study and understanding of dance.
