Every little girl loves to dream, they love to imagine, they love to create.
This week we are hosting Princess Fairy Camps, and wow!, the dreaming is big! Our little dancers are having so much fun dancing and singing in the Princess Fairyland and our tea parties are to die for! The children are learning to dance like no one is watching and to sing like someone IS listening.
Wearing a tiara and spinning with your magic wand is an experience all little girls want – after all, we were princess born and we are elegant and presentational by nature. Why not develop those natural born talents and become a crown wearing, wand carrying, dancing beauty?
At my studio, Wagner Dance Arts, our heart is that all little girls who want to dance should have the opportunity. We know we can’t reach every little girl, but we are starting in Gilbert and spreading to the entire east valley. To celebrate the greatness of each little girl, we have a special JULY PRICE for our dance camps.
So, get those kids out of the sun and into their princess wear for an afternoon tea party and a ballroom of dancing and singing – they will absolutely LOVE to be at our studio. We guarantee fun and education!
Please stop by and visit or call us at 480-892-7179 and let your child dream!

Do you have your child enrolled in dance class? Are you wondering what you can do to support their love of dance? In the last blog I mentioned how you encourage your child to practice, stretch….. Today let’s talk about little known tips to get the most out of your child’s lessons. After all, money doesn’t grow on trees and we all want value for our dollar.
Placement is so very important. Your child may learn best when they are the, “head of the class”. Some children actually function best and learn best while teaching others who may not be as experienced or as old. Other children are the complete opposite – they want to be challenged and challenged with the best of them.
At my studio, Wagner Dance & Music, we evaluate and place children so they are able to perform at their top level. We encourage parents to ask questions, get involved and get the most out of your dance education. Here are a few more tips on dance and taking dance class:
1. Listen to music. Provide your child with a variety of music styles. Let them listen to everything from Broadway Show Tunes to Classical Variations to Hip Hop Funk.
2. Proper attire. Make sure your child has the proper dance clothing and dance shoes. Your dance studio will be able to help you understand the requirements for each class. Dress like a dancer, dance like a dancer.
3. Performance time is the time to shine. Once your child has attended their classes, worked hard, practiced their routine and prepared for stage. Sit back and enjoy the talent that has been created. Tell your child how proud you are of their accomplishments.
4. Make friends. It is great to have friends who share the same interests. Dance friends love to dance together, practice new moves and choreograph. Dancing together increases creativity, team work and friendship.

How Your Child Can Get the Most Out of Dance Lessons
by Denise Wagner, Artistic Director
Congratulations on taking the steps to discover the wonderful world of dance. Here are a few tips to make sure your child has a positive and productive dance experience.
1. Arrive early. Get to your dance studio 10 minutes before the start of your class. This will allow your child time to stretch and get prepared for instruction.
2. Ask questions. Encourage your child to be certain they understand the instructor and understand what is being taught. Feel free to let the instructor know if the steps are not clear to your child.
3. Speak to the instructor. If you or your child has questions about what is being taught, ask for the appropriate time to speak with the instructor.
At my Dance & Music studio we encourage children to be the best they can be. The positive environment we offer will make every child smile and enjoy their dance or music lesson. I know that is a bold statement, but well, I’m bold and so is my staff. We have simply, hands down, the best group of instructors in the entire valley! I am so proud to be the Artistic Director of such a talented team of individuals. You just gotta meet them!
Come by the studio any time – remember – we have upcoming May 15 Auditions and we offer AMAZING summer dance camps!

I chose this picture to go on my Dance and Music blog because these children are gifted dancers and teaching pre-school dance fascinates me. Young children have their own special rhythm as they are not yet influenced by rules of movement. It always amazes me to see talented children both young and old learning how beautiful they can dance. Dancing becomes a part of their life!
This Summer I will unleash the hidden talents of all children who attend the Fairy Princess Camp & the Teacup Camp at my studio.
Summer is long and hot in Arizona, and parents – you have a choice. You can keep your child at home doing what they always do, you can drag them to a babysitter they don’t like, OR – BETTER, YET …
Sign up for Dance Camps and let your child learn to SING, DANCE, and PRODUCE a show for you! Kids who study the arts have more confidence and develop appreciation for performance. Visit my website www.wagnerdancearts. for more confidence building ideas. Dance like a child and bring Summer to Life!

Dear Miss Denise,
Our daughter, Sarah, began her love for dancing at the tender age of three. She is now almost seven years old and in her fourth year at Wagner Dance Arts. During this time we have observed our daughter continuously learn and develop a uniqueness and creativity that is hers alone. It has been exciting to witness the unfolding of Sarah’s inner self and allow its beauty to shine forth in her dancing.
With Much Appreciation,
Curt and Celia Butler
