Happy Feet is the community based preschool program of Buford School of Ballet, home of Georgia Christian Dance Theatre. Through Happy Feet we introduce young children to the gift of dance and healthy sports while serving families in their local preschools, child care centers, schools and communities. We are exceedingly proud and grateful to partner with Kids ‘R’ Kids Hamilton Mill to share our Ballet, Creative Movement and ALL STAR Sports programs.
Happy Feet offers classes as follows:
Ballet: 1 hour/week for children 3 years old and up. In ballet, we introduce dancers to the foundations of classical ballet in a loving, fun environment. Each May, Happy Feet dancers perform alongside Buford School of Ballet and Georgia Christian Dance Theatre dancers in our wonderful Spring Recitals at the Infinite Energy Center Theatre in Duluth, GA. With professional backdrops, sets, music, and costumes, we bring familiar stories to exciting life. Past performances include The Dancing Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan, and The Wizard of Oz. In May 2020, we are excited to present the premier of Toy Story, The Ballet. Because we want our young performers and audiences to enjoy the show, our recitals are “movie length” – 2 hours or less. Even dads and brothers enjoy our recitals!
Creative Movement: 30 minutes/week for children 2-3 years old. Creative Movement develops vital skills including gross motor coordination, listening & following directions, musicality & rhythm, taking turns and imaginative play. We move, stretch, dance, gallop, jump and leap with scarves, bells, bean bags, animal toys and more. It’s the cutest 30 minutes you’ve ever seen! Our Creative Movement students and families enjoy an end of the year In-Class Demonstration and Celebration.
ALL STAR Sports: 45 minutes/week for children 3 years old and up. ALL STAR Sports is all about developing teamwork, sportsmanship, and self-control while learning fundamental sports skills in a healthy, loving, and FUN environment. All Stars focus on gross motor skills, eye-hand coordination, ball handling, flexibility, agility, speed, balance, team sports foundations & more! God gave us these amazing bodies…let’s see what we can do!
