Music

Children have natural rhythm, and there is no better way to stimulate movement and brain development than early exposure to music. Not only is it fun for the whole family, but through music, children explore sound, rhythm, movement, and their bodies in space as they dance and move to the beat. No matter what your child’s age, music is a great way to encourage growth, in a fun, playful way.

Classes include:

Little Maestros (3 months–3 years): Named NYC's premier infant and toddler music program by The New York Times and NBC's TODAY, Little Maestros takes children on a fantastic musical journey. You and your child will love our musical story times, imaginative play, language development activities, puppet shows, and "bubble music."


Movement

Movement is a fun and creative way for children to learn about their place in space and how they can express their unique personalities. Children can release energy, learn balance and coordination, develop gross motor skills, understand spatial relations, socialize and make new friends, and learn how to creatively express themselves in our fun and unique dance and movement classes.

Classes include:

Ballet (18 months–4 years): Get your child moving creatively. Children will be introduced to ballet positions and techniques through an innovative approach that encourages young dancers with big imaginations.
