Our Teaching Philosophy
From the very young age of 18 months, we welcome and embrace dancers with their differences, their questions, their emotions, and their dreams. For all of our younger dancers, our unique “Dance the Story” approach, teaches them dance techniques in a fun and age-appropriate manner they understand. We offer them a loving and caring environment, where they feel safe, can make friends, and where every child gets full attention to shine and thrive.
In the last 15 years there has been an incredible shift in dance education. Our creative teaching techniques enables us to instruct in a way kids understand. Whole body wellness, injury prevention and education are an important part of our work as dance educators. At QDC we educate our dancers on how their body mechanics work so that they understand and comprehend dance concepts as well as the skills needed for proper dance technique. Our curriculum works with the developing child first, dancer second. This means we meet each child at their level both physically and mentally. We support our dancers in their journey whether they dance for a few years or for a lifelong career.
