| Kinderdance International Kinderdance makes a positive difference in the lives of young children by blending dance, gymnastics, physical education and academics into an innovative learning program. Through Kinderdance programs, children learn creative movement, ballet, tap, gymnastics and modern dance skills, in addition to colors, numbers, shapes, words and songs. They develop imagination and learn physical, verbal and social skills – an early foundation for higher education. Kinderdance teaches children to love learning by associating it with music, dance and fun. Along
with the standard Kinderdance program for pre-schoolers, the following
specialized programs are offered: Kindertots for two-year olds; Kindergym, which
emphasizes gymnastics, Kindercombo, which introduces children between the ages
of 6 and 8 to beginning dance techniques, and Kindermotion, which prepares
children ages 3 to 12 for athletic and academic pursuits through fitness,
nutrition and imagery. Franchisees
can teach all five of the Kinderdance programs themselves or complete training
to manage a team of instructors. Franchisees work out of their own home and
take their services straight to the day-care centers, preschools, YMCAs,
churches and community centers where Kinderdance programs are most in demand.
