Our preschool classes are designed to introduce basic dance technique, with a focus on developing gross motor skills, musicality, and dance fundamentals in a fun and encouraging environment. For this age group, we offer classes in Ballet, Tap, and Jazz/Hip-Hop, as well as a parent and child class for toddlers. Please click on the green button next to a specific class to see more information about that class, such as the dress code and more details about what the class entails.
Our 2025-2026 dance year is divided into two sessions: Session 1 runs September 8, 2025, through January 17, 2026, and Session 2 runs February 9, 2026, through June 6 or 13, 2026. Please note that the ages listed for each class are as of September 1, 2025, and that while we use age as an initial placement tool, there is fluidity in class placement. Our teachers are constantly observing and evaluating the progress of all of our students and will bring it to the director’s attention if a student would be better suited in another class, even if the student’s age doesn’t fit the listed age range. Also please note that when registering for class, if a student’s age fits the age range for two different classes of the same type (for example, a 7-year-old who could be in the age 5 to 7 Intro class or the age 7 to 9 Debut class), you should only consider registering that student for the older class if he/she has at least one full year of formal training in that particular style of dance. It is always better to start out in the younger class and be asked to move up rather than starting out in the older class and be asked to move down. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about class placement.
