Age-Appropriate Classes for children
From preschools to private backyards, Dancekidz offers fun, engaging classes that build confidence, coordination, and a lifelong love of movement.
In-School Dance Program
Our popular In-School Dance Program gives children the opportunity to experience the joy of dance right on campus. Our energetic Dancekidz instructors teach engaging 20-30 minute classes designed especially for young children.
Each class combines age-appropriate dance skills, music, movement and fun props while helping children develop coordination, confidence, rhythm and gross motor skills. Children will march, kick, turn, jump, gallop and learn multiple dance skills each month.
Every class includes a warm-up, featured dance skill of the month, fun routine and creative movement activity to keep children learning, moving and having fun.
We can also create special Holiday Shows, Spring Concerts, End-of-the-Year Shows and Graduation Performances so families can celebrate everything their children have learned.
Ballet
Grace, Confidence, Coordination
Our Ballet classes introduce children to the joy of dance in a fun and encouraging environment. Dancers learn ballet fundamentals including plié, tendu, passé and arabesque while building flexibility, balance, coordination, confidence and grace. For our younger dancers, we add a little magic with tiaras, wands, butterfly wings, scarves and ribbons.

What to Wear
Comfortable clothing that allows your dancer to move freely. Please avoid long dresses so instructors can see proper foot placement. Ballet shoes are recommended. Dancekidz also offers an optional sparkly pink tutu, ballet shoes and Dancekidz bag for purchase.
Hip Hop
Upbeat, Rhythmic, Style
Our Hip Hop classes bring the energy! Using age-appropriate music, students learn breakdancing foundations, top rock, party dances, and hip hop combinations.
