About
For children ages 3 to 6, First Steps and Bounding Boys are an introduction to dance at The Ailey School, where each child receives personalized support in a warm, playful atmosphere. Every class has an instructional team of a primary teacher, teaching assistants, and a live accompanist.
First Steps students build a foundation of dance technique through creative movement, developing body awareness, musicality, and rhythm. Bounding Boys, an extension of First Steps, offers boys a more athletic approach through movement exercises and tumbling. Classes meet once a week on Saturdays and culminate in a performance at The Ailey School each spring.
