Tiny Ballet/Tumble
Our Tiny class is often the first class these little ones have EVER had. We are learning more than dance moves, we are learning how to be in a classroom.

Dancers must (eventually) be comfortable being in the classroom without a parent (which may take several sessions!). Large viewing window and lobby area for parents.
