Kinderdance® was founded and created in 1979 by Carol Kay Harsell. It is a developmental dance, motor skills, gymnastics, music and fitness program, blended with academics, specifically designed for boys and girls ages 2 to 12. Kinderdance® offers five programs. Kinderdance® and Kindergym® for ages 3 to 5, Kindertots® for age 2, Kindercombo® for ages 6 to 8, and Kindermotion® ages 3 to 12. All programs are developmentally designed curriculums that teach to the total child. Preschoolers learn the basics of ballet, tap, gymnastics, creative movement, motor development skills, and fitness while learning their numbers, colors, shapes, and songs. After-school children ages 6 to 12 are involved in a motor development, creative thinking and fitness program, or a combination dance program including ballet, tap, and modern dance skills. The programs were designed to meet the needs of pre-schoolers, parents, child care centers, fitness centers and other viable locations. Kinderdance® programs are successfully being taught to thousands of children, in thousands of child care centers and other locations around the world.
