About Converge Little Movers
Converge Little Movers is an intentionally designed early childhood dance and movement program created by pediatric physical and occupational therapists with extensive dance backgrounds. Through developmentally appropriate dance, music, play, and movement, children build the physical, cognitive, social and emotional foundations they need both inside and outside the studio.

Creative movement, obstacle courses, freeze games, imitation, scarves, rhythm instruments, climbing, reaching, jumping, marching, balancing, crossing midline, scarves, and caregiver interaction.
Preschool Dance:
Preschool dance class includes aspects of creative movement, ballet, tap, and acro. Kids begin entering class independently, following simple multi-step directions, learning classroom routines, taking turns, developing rhythm and coordination, and emotional regulation.
Kinder Dance:
There are more options for dance styles: Kinder Ballet/Tap, Kinder Jazz/Acro, and Kinder Hip Hop. Students are still learning through fun, developmentally appropriate activities, but now they will be working more to learn basic foundations of technique, movement sequencing, musicality, coordination, retention, and independence.
Converge Core Classes:
After graduating from our Little Movers program, your dancer will be ready to move into our Converge Core Classes which is a progressive training curriculum with Levels 1-4.
Little Movers Foundational Pillars
Every Little Movers dance class is designed around six important areas that help kids learn, move, connect, and grow. While they're dancing and having fun, we're creating experiences that build skills they use far beyond the dance studio.
MOVE: Building strong, coordinated bodies
Children develop balance, strength, coordination, body awareness and control through age-appropriate movement. They practice important skills like jumping, hopping, balancing, changing directions and using both sides of their body together.
EXPLORE: Discovering creativity and trying new things
Children are encouraged to move in different ways, use their imaginations and explore the space around them. Creative movement helps them become more comfortable and confident using their bodies while encouraging curiosity and creativity.
LEARN: Growing little minds through movement
Dance is full of opportunities to listen, remember and problem-solve. Children practice following directions, remembering sequences, recognizing patterns and staying focused, all while moving and having fun.
CONNECT: Learning to be part of a group
Dance class gives children a safe place to practice important social skills. They learn to take turns, share space, work with partners, interact with their teacher and classmates, and understand what it means to be part of a group.
GROW: Building confidence and independence
We celebrate trying, not just getting it right. Children practice doing things independently, trying something new, working through challenges and feeling proud of what they accomplish. These little successes help build confidence and resilience.
DANCE: Creating a strong foundation for dance
Children are introduced to age-appropriate dance vocabulary, musicality, rhythm and technique in a way that matches how young children learn best. As they progress through Little Movers, these skills prepare them for a successful transition into Converge's next level of dance training.
