Children's Dance Lessons in Jersey City

Children's Dance Lessons at Jersey City Ballroom

We believe in a Montessori-style way of learning that offers kids a chance to explore and expand their dance and movement abilities while becoming intrinsically motivated to dance. Our 2-3 year old students will have movement games incorporated into their dance class. Our 4-6 year old students will start learning dance routines and have a chance to perform during our 2 major theater showcase events of the year, held in Spring and Winter. In addition to learning step patterns, our 6.5-9 year old students will start working more in-depth with proper Ballroom and Latin technique and musicality.
