Parent & child

First steps!

This introductory movement and dance class lets our little ones move, socialize, and explore in complete safety alongside mom, dad, or another grown-up (1 adult per child or for two children is permitted). The class is tailored for kiddos from 12–18 months to 3 years old, and younger babies are super welcome in a carrier or on a yoga mat. Parents, you'll be actively taking part in your toddler's dance discovery, but don't worry, zero awkwardness—we won't ask you to do any dance improv! A fun, playful class that sparks imagination, creativity, and builds great foundations for ballet. 🙂

Please buy drop-in classes first to give it a try. Class card purchases are non-refundable!

If your mini-dancer wears ballet slippers, please write their name on them: we aren't responsible for any damage, lost items, or mix-ups with friends' shoes.

To make the most of the studio space, we welcome a maximum of one (1) adult in the studio per child. Ready to take on the adventure with twins or triplets? You're so welcome! Is grandma visiting and would love to sit in just this once? Just ask us!

  • 45 minutes

  • Varied music

  • With mom, dad, or one (1) other grown-up

  • Comfy clothes for everyone!

Questions about our kids' classes2025-07-30T18:08:55+00:00

Fresh and exciting: we now offer full-year registration for our regulars who come to the same class every week! To keep groups nice and steady and take teaching quality to the next level, sign up for the year and save big! Keep in mind, it is a bit less flexible: you choose one class and stick with it every week, all year long. We don't do swaps, make-ups, or refunds—which is exactly why the price is so sweet!

Valid for the purchased session, in the same weekly class and at your chosen studio. No make-ups, swaps, or refunds available.

With class cards, you get the ultimate in flexibility! They never expire and are valid for all kids' classes at your chosen studio. In other words, drop in every other week, do 8 weeks in the summer and 4 in the winter—it’s total freedom! Just like our other services, they are non-refundable.

Kids' class cards are non-refundable, but they never expire and can be used for any kids' class at your chosen studio.

Yes! We offer a free trial class during our open houses, plus a kids' trial class for $12 + tax 🙂 That said, it's totally normal if your kid doesn't “participate” super actively during their very first classes. Just watching, then stepping into the studio, talking to the teacher, joining the group, and finally dancing are all totally normal stages of warming up. Give your mini-dancer a few classes to feel at home!

If you take a trial class and then decide to sign up for the whole year, the cost of that class will be deducted from your total amount.

It’s a teeny bit tricky on Momence. Give us a call or pop in to see us before class!

As long as your child feels comfy and cute, anything goes! Leggings & a tank top or a leotard & tights—it all works. Fairy wings are highly encouraged! They will, however, need a pair of leather ballet slippers (mandatory for safety), a reusable water bottle, and a hair elastic is super handy.

Yes! For the younger ones, plan on a couple of weeks to settle in, but generally, jumping in anytime is no problem at all. However, we do recommend coming every week so your kid doesn't have to get used to the space and the group all over again each time, helping them get the most out of their learning. In that case, grabbing flexible class passes is the way to go!

Ballet in its final, traditional form isn't suitable for kids under 7. It can lead to joint issues, growth complications, and injuries, and it pushes beyond their attention span. That’s why we do pre-ballet (which is 100% real ballet!) to focus on what matters most: rhythm, musicality, movement, directions, body awareness, textures, teamwork, memory, proprioception… It might not look like Swan Lake just yet and might seem simple at times, but trust us: it's the best way to spark a lifelong passion instead of knee troubles 🙂 PS: We always love chatting about our lesson plans—just ask us for more fun details about our games and exercises!

Actually, a child who sits on the floor the whole class is actively participating! Standing up and dancing is the very LAST step of settling into class. The whole journey includes peeking through the window with mom, stepping into the room for two minutes, agreeing to talk to the teacher or little friends, and finally being able to stay solo for the full hour. So don't be discouraged—your little observer is soaking it all in and getting closer to that final step!

We know all parents love seeing their little ones in action—we totally get it!—but the answer is no. Apart from parent-child classes, we kindly ask parents to head out promptly once their child arrives / avoid pressing noses against the glass / keep the doorway clear. This lets the teacher and assistant work their magic, and helps the little dancers focus. Just like at daycare or school! We do host an open-class recital three times a year so you can cheer them on.

Everyone taking classes at the studio needs their own class pass. So for two kids, that’s two separate passes. That being said, we offer a $10 referral discount so every child gets a little perk on their classes—just ask us at the front desk!

Make sure you're registering under your child’s own name, not yours!

Check that their age is listed in their account. Without a birthdate, the system won't let you book kids' classes.

Make sure you're signing them up for the right age group.

Try booking the classes on a computer instead of the app!
