Youngest Dancers Classes

Dance With Me, Pre-Primary, Primary, Pre-K, Kinder and Elementary dance classes are our youngest dancers’ first exposure to ballet and moving creatively to music. Our instructors foster a love and understanding of rhythm, coordination, exercise, and independence. Rotating class themes such as Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty help bring imagination to life in a continually engaging group setting.

Dance With Me and Pre-Primary Dance Classes

Dance With Me dance classes are the perfect introduction to a classroom setting for our tiniest dancers. Our instructors instill a love for dance and music in a fun interactive class structure that continually engages the interest of the children and parents alike. Caregivers participate in the activities with their children in Dance With Me providing support and comfort as their darling dancers gain the independent listening skills and confidence needed to graduate to Pre-Primary Dance. In Pre-Primary our tiniest dancers explore their budding autonomy in a class independent from their caregiver.

Every teacher has their own personal experience with dance, bringing inside knowledge and variety to each class. Overall, I recommend this studio to any dancer looking for a family of talented and inspiring dancers and teachers!"

    "Our daughter has been dancing with the studio for years, and she has blossomed into an excellent dancer. What impresses me the most? Excellent teachers, excellent opportunities to dance with professionals, and the care the owners and faculty put into knowing each family that is a part of the studio."
