Early Childhood

Children 18 months – 3 years of age

At American Youth Dance Theater, we introduce young dancers, aged 18 months to 3 years, to movement in a joyful and supportive environment. With a strong focus on developmental readiness, our Early Childhood classes for babies and toddlers nurture coordination, confidence, and creativity – guided by a parent or caregiver.

The Early Childhood Program gently and joyfully prepares children for Pre-Ballet, Tap Intro, and Hip Hop Intro in our Junior Division. Classes are broken into two 9-week sessions for your convenience. No recital yet for this age group, but each class brings our tiniest dancers one step closer to the stage!

First Steps

Ages 18 – 26 months accompanied by a parent or caregiver. Twins must be accompanied by two adults, one for each child. The program is broken into two 9-week sessions, but we accept rolling admissions throughout the year, so contact us anytime to join.
