Tiny Tappers & Ballet Combo (Ages 3-5)
Step into the rhythm and fun with our Tiny Tappers class, designed especially for young dancers aged 3 to 5 years!
program overview
Our Tiny Tap & Ballet Combo class is the perfect introduction to rhythm, movement, and musicality for your littlest dancers! Designed especially for ages 3–5, this playful class focuses on building coordination, confidence, and listening skills through imaginative movement and basic ballet and tap technique.
Dancers will explore foundational tap steps like toe taps, heel digs, and shuffles while also building ballet-based skills such as balance, posture, and graceful movement. Through upbeat music, imaginative games, and storytelling, children learn to create rhythm with their feet while developing control and confidence in their bodies.
Dancers will only need tap shoes for this class.

You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.

If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.
