Our Toddler + Me dance classes are thoughtfully designed for both children and parents. In each 45-minute session, you’ll find:

Guided by Experts in Early Childhood Development: Our instructors are trained in child development and bring expertise and warmth to every class. From birth to age 5, 85-90% of the brain’s physical growth occurs, and we are here to help guide that growth through joyful, research-backed activities.
