SPOTLIGHT ON PROGRAMS
LITTLE CHARMERS
For toddlers to first graders
Little Charmers is our recreational program for dancers ages 18 months to 7 years.
Explore classes like Creative Movement, Ballet, Tap, Hip Hop and more. End the Fall session with a Holidazzle performance, and end the Spring session with the Annual Recital!
When a child enrolls in a Little Charmers course, the dancer receives the Rainbow Ring with the logo and red charms to proudly hang on their dance bag. At the conclusion of each dance season, students receive a colored charm that represents the level of the finished course. If the child enrolls early enough, they can collect all six charms!
We love beginners!
