 FAQs

  • Parents often ask about the perfect age to start dance class. The truth is, it depends on your child’s enthusiasm! Ideal young dancers are eager to learn, has started basic listening skills, and have some coordination. This ensures a fun and enriching experience for everyone.

  • Classes are offered based on age, so you should sign your child up based on their age at the beginning of the school year.

  • Parents with children of any age can watch our classes! We have a lobby area downstairs with viewing windows.

  • For ages 6-7, we do not recommend taking more than 2 classes a week, especially if they are involved in other sports or activities.

  • There are a few ways parents can help reinforce the skills and routines their children are learning in class. First, encourage your young dancer to show off the skills and routines they’re learning in class. Revisiting them at home can give dancers the chance to practice their routines and help remember what was learned in class.

    It can also helpful to play the music they will be dancing to at home and help them count it so they can be successful when adding the steps to the music.

  • Hopefully, these quick insights on our foundation dance classes have made you feel more comfortable about trusting us with your inspiring dancer!
