At J'Adore Dance our sessional Kreative Kidz® program features a combination of Ballet, Jazz and Creative Movement for ages 3-13 have been expertly programmed by artistic director Chantel Sampson (BEd, PAHC, AFLCA, PPNF).  All of our classes are taught by highly trained instructors who have certified in JDance®  (The foundational program for the Kreative Kidz® Curriculum) and have a solid foundation in both dance technique and best teaching practices.

Our program focuses on Anne Green Gilbert’s BrainDance research and her teachings on conceptual dance education, providing a strong foundation where new dance concepts will be explored monthly. Creative dance, imagination, and expression are combined with developmentally appropriate movement, music, and ballet and jazz technique to create a class that is fun for all!

Her teachers have included Ms. Jenna, Ms. Aphra, Ms. Melanie, Ms. Robyn, Ms. Hannah, and Ms. Bridget. Harmony looks up to her parents and dance teachers. Her love and joy of dance instilled at such a young age has allowed her to work hard and challenge herself to become a junior assistant.
