Resharing this because it’s a great idea! We recommend looking at your bag before our open house next week so that you’ll know what items you might need to buy. We sell leotards and shoes through size YL/3. Applause down the street has adult sizes. If ordering, be sure to do that soon. Use the link in profile to look at our assigned class attire. Message us with any questions.
Do you have a 2-year-old who’s ready to dance? We have two great class options, depending on what feels like the best fit for your dancer…
Moving Together for 1 & 2 yr olds
is a fun introduction to dance that your child takes alongside their favorite grown-up. Taught in 6-week sessions throughout the year, this is a wonderful choice for the 2-year-old who is still nervous about being away from a parent or isn’t quite ready to jump into a new activity independently.
Movement to Music for 2 & 2½ yr olds (must be the class age by Sept 1)
is for the little one who’s ready to have a class of their own! Taught by a caring and enthusiastic teaching artist, our 2 and 2 1/2 year old classes create a comfortable, reassuring environment for our youngest independent dancers.
Both classes are filled with live music, songs, stories, movement, and fun props—all while building early dance skills and confidence.
Both classes for 2 year olds are great ways to start dancing. Choose the one that feels right for your little one, or reach out to our program director with any questions.
