Programs for Every Stage

Dance Classes for Ages 18 Months–18 Years

Preschool, recreational, performance, and specialty training in a welcoming Avondale studio.

Preschool Dance Programs

Ages 18 months–5 years

Start with the class that matches your child’s stage: caregiver-supported Itty Bitty (18 months–3), independent Tiny Tots (3–4), and Minis (4–5). Each 45-minute class uses music, imaginative movement, and age-appropriate routines to build coordination, confidence, listening skills, and classroom readiness.

Tiny Tots dancers must be potty trained and comfortable participating independently. One caregiver joins the Itty Bitty class.
