Tiny Tots Summer Dance

Four weeks of dance, play, and creativity for ages 12 months to 7. Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays in Hauppauge.

Channel That Energy

If your little one lights up every time music comes on — spinning in the kitchen, bouncing in the grocery store, dancing in the car seat — this is the summer to channel that energy into something structured, social, and genuinely fun.

Classes are grouped by age and developmental stage, so your child is always surrounded by kids at a similar level. The environment is playful and low-pressure — this isn't about perfecting technique, it's about building coordination, confidence, and a love for movement.

What to Expect on Day One

If your child is in Mommy & Me, you'll be in the room the whole time — no drop-off anxiety for either of you. For Creative Dance I and up, dancers head into the studio on their own. Most of them surprise their parents by how quickly they settle in.

What to wear: Comfy leotards or dancewear for all classes. Ballet slippers are required, and tap shoes may be needed depending on the class — the studio will let you know which pair to get.

Not sure which class fits? Ages are guides, not hard rules. Every child develops differently, and our team is happy to help you figure out the best starting point. You can also try a class before committing to a package.

Why Summer Is the Perfect Time to Start

The shorter commitment — four weeks instead of a full semester — takes the pressure off. Kids get a chance to experience the studio, meet instructors, and build comfort before the school-year schedule kicks in. Many of our year-round families started with a summer session.

Give Them a Summer to Remember

Small class sizes mean the instructors know every dancer by name.
