Baby & Me (ages 0-2.5)
Baby & Me classes are a fun way for care givers and their babies or young toddlers to connect with each other in a playful environment with other care givers and their babies. Moms get to shake up daily baby routines and interact with other care givers and their babies. They also get a chance to get some exercise, and experience first time interactions with other little ones. These classes are a fun learning environment for both care giver and child. Classes not only stimulate the learning process in the child, but nurture the existing bond between care giver and child in a way that allows the care giver to break away from the stresses of parenthood, while learning how to simultaneously play and grow with your child. Students may graduate to Twinkle Babies (dance) and/or Cheer/Acro Tumble after Baby & Me as soon as they are ready to separate and begin on their own and reach the required age for entry.

Twinkle Babies (ages 2.5-3)
A thirty minute introductory dance class containing ballet, tap and creative movement. Young dancers will learn the basic steps while learning how to follow direction and imitate movement in a positive environment. Engaging music is used to get these little guys inspired to dance. The use of props such as Twinkle bears and hula hoops, enables the young dancers to use their imagination, creativity and, most of all, have fun!

Twinkle Stars (ages 3-4, 4-5, 5-6)
An age specific 45 minute class containing ballet, tap and jazz/creative movement.

Dancers will also learn basic steps and terminology in all three styles. For example, all dancers will learn what a “plie” is and how to demonstrate one. The use of fun, age appropriate music engages the young dancers’ minds and bodies. The use of props such as hula hoops for the “freeze dance” makes the end of class the most fun!
