COVID 19 UPDATE, July 28th: We look forward to serving parents and students this 2020-2021 school year. At this time, we are planning to welcome new students for fall. Dancers will wear masks for all activities except eating and outdoor play (Plié Program). We do not follow 9R for holidays or COVID matters, only weather-related closings.

We plan to open at Level 2 in our Health Safety Protocols. Changes may be made with minimal notice, in accordance to San Juan Basin Health Department and/or the Governor of Colorado's mandates. ​

Plié:
​a creative arts experience for preschool students

What is it?
A dance party every day! As a new mom herself, Ms. Miriam realized the need for preschool students to have a program designed for children who weren't ready or desiring of a traditional preschool program. So she designed a program that would welcome preschool-aged students who would benefit from the free flowing social interaction and emphasis on the arts.  Our program includes dance, art, theater, yoga, and special guest artists in rotation.
 
During dance breaks, we’ll incorporate dance history, dance heroes, dance costume dress-up, and dance stories/movies.

Plié at Durango Dance is a license-exempt childcare program.

Who can attend?
We are currently accepting boys and girls ages 4-5.  Differently-abled students are encouraged to speak with the director about whether we may be the best fit for them and how we can best accommodate them.  Our class maximum ratio is 8 students to 1 teacher.
