Bring the JOY and BENEFITS of Dance and Music Education to your Community with Intellidance® Kids!
Intellidance® Kids is a unique creative dance and music curriculum and teacher training program created to foster holistic development in children ages 3-5 years. Research shows that dance and music activities offered in a loving, safe, multi-sensory environment enhance life long learning and neural development.
Connecting dance and music concepts provide opportunities for young children to explore, discover, learn, and create using multiple senses and intelligences. By addressing the possibilities and benefits of dance and music education, Intellidance® Kids provides an innovative approach for young children to move-to-learn and learn-to-move!
Intellidance® offers a playful and creative approach to movement and music education in the early years. The program model combines exploration and discovery with dance, music, and play designed to nurture our youngest learners. The Intellidance® Method is based on current best practices and recommendations in early childhood development, international dance and music education standards, coupled with child and teacher-approved fun!
Intellidance® Kids is designed for children who are ready for a dance and music adventure! Kids will explore dance and music concepts through imaginative play while developing movement skills, balance, flexibility, and coordination. Instrumentation, songs, sensory props, and simple choreography will support the development of musicality and self-expression, helping all children become confident movers and shakers!
Intellidance® Founder, Jessica Baudin-Griffin (B.Ed), has trained professionals from all over the world in the Intellidance® Method, using conceptual teaching practices to increase the awareness of the benefits of developmentally appropriate early childhood dance and music education and experiences. Jessica has taught early childhood dance and music education and teacher pedagogy in a wide variety of settings including: dance studios, community centres, preschools, daycares, special educational programs, elementary schools, and post secondary institutions.
Working in different educational settings has given Jessica a deep appreciation of the importance of music and dance education at all ages and an understanding of the different needs of early childhood professionals. Jessica brings this experience and knowledge to her teaching training programs, providing an educational model that is both strong in methodology and flexible in implementation. Jessica is committed to helping other teachers find success, satisfaction, and joy!

Parents LOVE Intellidance® Kids!
It has been a great pleasure that my daughter Makenna participated in Intellidance® Kids. Makenna is a free spirit like all preschoolers, and she flourished in a dance class that did not specify exact movements required for children to mirror, but for children to use dance to explore their natural movements and creative dance. Makenna has a strong sense of self and enjoys freedom to move with music and song. Attending Intellidance® strengthened her independence of body movement and expression! My only regret was not having her in more classes!
Thank you Jessica for developing this program and providing it to all!

Intellidance® is the most INTELLIGENT dance program for young children available. After trying a variety of preschool dance programs, I was frustrated with the lack of actual movement time my son was experiencing in class and the amount of time standing in lines copying the teacher.
Intellidance® provides a creative, developmentally appropriate way for preschool children to experience dance! My son was encouraged to move all class and learned so much through creative play. I loved attending the sharing day and seeing the many ways each child in the class interpreted the dances under the gentle guidance of Ms. Jessica. Thank you so much for creating a dance program that puts the child first!

Join Other Teachers Experiencing Success with Intellidance®!
Intellidance® has enriched my teaching and has made me a more confident teacher. I use Intellidance® as a preschool teacher, I teach several Intellidance® classes a week in my community, and I also use the program in my preschool ballet classes. I absolutely love the programming we are continually provided, along with all the new music I have been introduced to. Jessica is wonderfully positive and encouraging!! Her on-going support in my new business adventure has been very much appreciated. Intellidance® has provided me the opportunity to work with a young family doing what I love and provide a fun, educational class to families in my community that I really believe in!
