A  child’s dance education can begin as early as the age of two. This is usually when they have the motor skills to participate in a dance class. Children are like sponges, eager to learn.

We also offer a class, Pre-Ballet A, for dancers 3 1/2 to 4 years of age but it is recommended to have at least 1 year of dance experience.
