Mommy and Me Ballet Class
Designed for new Mom’s and their infants
Mommy and Me classes are a great way to bond with your baby while encouraging healthy motor development.
A young brain grows at a fascinating rate. Developing motor skills goes hand in hand with cognitive development.
As you spend tummy time with your infant, you’ll roll and crawl together, developing their motor planning, problem-solving, and pattern recognition skills.

Tots Ballet Class
Designed for new Mom’s and their infants
This class is pre-ballet, designed as an introduction to the level 1 class. Most of our students begin advancing into the execution of structured level 1 ballet moves very soon after beginning this class. This class utilizes playful and magical music to do tactile work incorporating imagination, floor and barre work.
Children gain a sense of elegance, imagination, teamwork, and self-sufficiency to be carried over into Level 1. These children experience a lot of “firsts” and create memories to last a lifetime!
