The Georgia Ballet SummerDance

• The Georgia Ballet offers two summer programs for toddlers, each five weeks long. The first, called Movement for Mommy and Me, is a preparatory class for two-year-old children that aims to accustom the child to stretching, rhythm exercises and traveling steps. Mothers participate and encourage their children with the movement. The other toddler class, PreBallet 1, is for children ages three and four. This program introduces toddlers to ballet as well as to good posture, rhythm and coordination. The exercises involved in this program strengthen young muscles.
