No dance experience? Perfect.
Mini Sessions are designed with beginners in mind. Your child doesn't need to know ballet positions, own a leotard or have ever stepped inside a dance studio before.
Our goal is to make that first dance experience feel exciting, welcoming and age-appropriate.
✓ No previous dance experience required
✓ No full-season commitment
✓ Comfortable dance or athletic clothing is welcome
✓ Small, age-appropriate introduction to the studio
WHY MINI SESSIONS?
A simple way to try dance.

AGES 2-3 • MY DANCE DEBUT
Their first steps into dance, together.
My Dance Debut is designed especially for little dancers who aren't quite ready to head into the classroom alone.
Through music, movement, rhythm and beginning dance concepts, dancers explore the studio while a parent or caregiver participates alongside them.
It's a fun way to build confidence, practice following directions and experience dance with the security of their favorite grown-up nearby.

GOOD TO KNOW!
Your Mini Session Questions, Answered.
-
Leotards and tights are wonderful, but they're not required. Comfortable athletic clothing that allows your dancer to move freely is perfectly fine.
-
Ballet shoes are PREFERRED! If you child has sensory issues, socks are OK too!
PLEASE AVOID GLITTER BALLET SHOES! -
Parents are welcome to wait in the lobby, we have TVs that livestream the class.
-
That's completely normal. Mini Sessions are intentionally designed as a gentle introduction to the dance classroom and independence.
-
Families can join another themed Mini Session or, when they're ready, explore our regular recreational dance classes.
