About Our Kids Program
Skills for Life
Dance is the vehicle through which we teach your child critical life skills. Yes, they’ll learn to be a great dancer! And they will also learn to be a great human. Our classes and performances are the playground that prepare your child to be a successful adult, as dance fosters interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, discipline, resilience, and more. No matter what your child wants to be when they grow up, the skills they learn in dance will help them in their career and secondary educational pursuits.
Safe & Age-Appropriate Dance Training
We follow best practices from current dance and exercise science, including safe stretching protocols, proper warm-ups and cool-downs, and age appropriate conditioning exercises for students. Our curriculum is centered on childhood development, designed to help your child meet important milestones for their age. We also make sure that the music and choreography for our classes is kid-friendly, always.
Punctuated Performance
While the classroom is the laboratory for kids to learn to dance, the stage is where they bring those skills to life! We offer two main performances per year, as well as additional community performances so your child gets many chances to practice the skill of performing. Performing teaches them to trust themselves, be confident, and work through difficult emotions like fear and nervousness. Nothing is more magical than the smile on a kid’s face after they perform!

Dance is the place for kids’ dreams to come true! And along the way, they’ll grow socially and emotionally, develop motor skills, and learn other important life skills like teamwork, discipline, and how to work towards a goal.
At your first class, we’re happy to help talk through any concerns you may have. Additionally, we encourage being prepared to try more than one class. Some kids need a few classes before they feel comfortable in an unfamiliar space with new people. After a few classes, your child will be begging you to take them to dance class!
