At Dance: The Cutting Edge (DTCE), we know a dancer’s journey doesn’t start at age 10—it starts with the first plié, first hop, and first tumble in a class that’s structured, fun, and developmentally smart.
That’s why we created the Primary for Tots Complete Genre Series: Ballet, Tap, & Tumbling Vol. I–II—a full preschool training system designed specifically for ages 3–5. This isn’t just cute choreography—it’s a comprehensive, progression-based curriculum that lays the foundation for long-term technical growth through age-appropriate, play-driven learning.
With 160+ foundational skills, 15+ syllabus guides, and 4.75+ hours of tutorials, this program gives teachers everything they need to build confidence, coordination, rhythm, and control across three essential genres: Ballet, Tap, and Tumbling.
