What age should my child start dance?

There is no perfect age. But age 3 is a great place to start.

Ages 3 to 5: learning to move

Little ones learn to listen, follow music and move with others. At Next Level they start with ballet/contemporary, hip hop and acro.

Ages 6 to 12: finding a style

Kids can learn technique now. They try ballet, hip hop, ballroom and acro. Many take two or three a week.

Teens: training for real

Teens build strong technique and stage presence. Some decide to compete. It is never too late to start.

Adults: yes, you too

Our 30 & Over class shows it every Tuesday. Dance has no age limit.
