Especially for our little ones
Preschoolers, Junior, and Senior Infants are Tots at ITW. Tots take a minimum of two 30 minute classes per week (though many take 3!) in dance, drama, ballet, and singing. Tots classes lay foundations in coordination, teamwork, self-expression, spatial awareness, music theory, voice production... oh, and FUN!

What to wear
Tots classes named after colours wear the ITW uniform of an ITW T-Shirt and Hoodie worn with black

Pick and Mix Tots may elect to wear the uniform but aren't required to do so. They should dress comfortably for class in leggings, tees, hoodies and appropriate footwear for dance classes.
