We offer a four-week trial!

We know that choosing the right dance class is a big step, for both you and your child.
That’s why we offer a gentle four-week trial period, giving your child time to settle in, feel truly welcome, and explore their new environment at their own pace before any full commitment is needed.

This also allows us to make sure the class is the best fit for your child’s personality, needs, and goals, because every child deserves to feel seen, safe, and supported from the very first step.
