Toddler Ballet (Tompkins Square Park Pod)

In Toddler Ballet, children will begin to explore new ways their bodies can move in a fun and playful environment. With the help and participation of their grownups, children work on developing their gross and fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and strengthening the connection between their mind and body. Along with singing songs, playing games, and moving in imaginative ways, there will be a gentle focus on introducing basic ballet movements.

What Should We Bring?

  • A big blanket to sit on. The ground may be soggy and/or muddy, so something waterproof and washable is best.
  • Outdoor necessities like sunscreen, bug spray, water, extra layers, etc.
  • Musical instruments and props, which can be homemade or found. The musical activity will change each week, so the registering adult will receive an email Sunday evening letting you know what instrument or prop we'll need for class the next day.

Covid-19 Policies

  • We will practice social distancing. The teacher will measure enough space between family blankets to ensure the class is safely spread out.
  • Masks are optional for outdoor classes.
  • If your child wanders near another family, please gently and playfully scoop your child up and bring them back to your space.
  • Some participants may be comfortable being in closer proximity to others. Please ensure that you and your family maintain at least 6 feet distance from other participants unless invited closer.
  • Participants must stay home if they or anyone in their household is exhibiting any of the following Covid-19 symptoms: fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, or diarrhea.
  • Participants must stay home if they or anyone they've been in close contact with has been exposed to Covid-19.

What Else Should I Know?

  • Outdoor classes are held on a weather-permitting basis​. In cases of inclement weather, including heavy precipitation or if the "Feels Like" temperature is forecasted to be below 35°F, the class will be held on Zoom.
  • This is a class for both children and their grownups to participate in together. The teacher may offer ways for grownups to assist their child, or ask grownups to dance along. The most important thing is for grownups to play with with little ones and have fun!
  • Each child is on their own unique developmental journey, and learning and processing information can occur in many different ways. With this mindset, we honor each child's journey by allowing them to participate in the way that's right for them; if a child chooses to sit and observe, or needs to take breaks, that's alright with us!
