A Gentle First Step into Dance

For many families, Dance With Me is a child’s first experience in a group class setting.

Classes are thoughtfully structured to:

  • Encourage exploration through music and movement

  • Support early coordination and balance

  • Build confidence in a safe, familiar environment

  • Strengthen the bond between child and caregiver

Children participate with a parent or caregiver by their side, allowing them to engage at a pace that feels comfortable and encouraging.

What to Expect in Class

Dance With Me classes focus on:

  • Simple movement activities and creative play

  • Music, rhythm, and listening skills

  • Early coordination and body awareness

  • Social interaction in a supportive group setting

Activities are designed to be flexible, welcoming each child’s unique energy, curiosity, and comfort level.

A Supportive Environment for Families

Dance.tech instructors guide classes with warmth, patience, and clear structure.

This class is designed to:

  • Support toddlers who may be hesitant or new to group activities

  • Provide caregivers with guidance on how to encourage movement and participation

  • Create a calm, positive introduction to the studio environment

There is no expectation for perfect participation—curiosity and comfort come first.

Building a Foundation for What Comes Next

Dance With Me helps children build familiarity with movement, music, and classroom routines, creating a natural transition into independent early childhood classes such as Debut Dance when they are ready.

Dress Code

Children and caregivers should wear:

  • Comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement

  • Bare feet or soft footwear, as recommended by the instructor
