What’s the Best Age to Start Your Child in Dance?

Deciding when to enroll your child in dance classes is an exciting milestone! At Nan’s School of Dance, we often hear parents wondering, “What’s the best age to begin?” The wonderful thing about dance is that it can be enjoyed at any age! Whether your little one is taking their first steps or your teen is ready to refine their technique, we have a place for them in our dance family.

Our Youngest Dancers

For our youngest dancers, we offer delightful Mommy & Me classes, perfect for children aged 18 months to 2.5 years. These classes are a fantastic introduction to movement and music, allowing toddlers to explore their creativity alongside a parent or caregiver. It’s a joyful way to bond and introduce them to the basics of dance in a supportive setting.

As they grow a little older, our Pre-Dance classes, geared towards 2.5 to 4-year-olds, are a wonderful next step. These classes focus on developing coordination, rhythm, and musicality through fun and engaging activities. We introduce fundamental dance steps and encourage imagination, setting the stage for more structured dance forms in the future.

Elementary and Middle School Years

As children enter elementary and middle school, their dance journey can really take off! At Nan’s School of Dance, we offer a wide range of styles suitable for various ages and skill levels. From the grace and elegance of Ballet to the energy and excitement of Hip Hop, there’s something for everyone.

We understand that each child learns at their own pace. Our experienced instructors work with students to develop technique, build strength, and foster a love for dance. We place students in classes that will challenge them while offering a fun atmosphere for learning and growth. It’s a time for building confidence, making friends, and discovering their unique dance potential.

Teens, It’s Never Too Late to Dance!

It’s never too late to start dancing! Our pre-teen and teen classes cater to various levels, whether you’re an experienced dancer looking to change studios or a beginner ready to try something new. Dance is a fantastic way to stay active, express yourself, and meet new people. We offer classes in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, and more, providing opportunities for continued learning and growth.
