Inspire confidence & encourage learning through the magic of dance!
Join Bom Funk's Exclusive Dance Program & help your child achieve big moves and milestones ready for school!
Our purpose is to provide the highest-quality Early Childhood Dance Education in a secure, nurturing, and stimulating environment. Bom Funk Dance Studio serves the physical, emotional, and intellectual needs of the young students. We meet these goals with our age-appropriate curriculum and ongoing communication with parents.
Right from the beginning we focus on your child’s coordination, listening skills, musical awareness, and developing imagination. We accomplish this through age-appropriate music and song, simple stretching exercises, ballet and tumbling basics, and creative games.
Dance Kingdom is about helping children learn to stimulate their imaginations and express themselves creatively. So Don’t be disappointed if your child doesn’t pirouette around the house or look like a budding ballerina right away. Just like pop corn, each child will pop in their own time! We can’t wait to be there with them when they do!
