Intro to Child Development

✋🏽 Stop winging it.

👋🏽 Say hello to purposeful dance classes that are a joy to teach!

We’ve hand-picked the most relevant research in psychology and child development to explain what makes kids tick… and what makes a preschool dance class fall apart.

Because when you understand why kids do what they do it unlocks a whole new level of joy and ease in your teaching.
