Which class is right?

My child is turning 3. Where do we start?

Creative movement. Ages 3 to 5 share a class, and the teacher plays to the youngest ages in the room. A grown-up waits in the family room.

My child is 6 and has never danced.

Ballet and tap, or jazz and hip hop. Every dancer starts at the beginning, whatever their age.

My child uses a wheelchair or a walker.

Come to an adaptive dance class. It is made for dancers who move in different ways, and you can tell us about your child at the trial class.

We're not sure. Can we talk first?

Yes. Call the studio, or book a trial class and tell the teacher what you hope for at the door.
