Get ready to move, groove, and have a blast! The Kids Dance Open House is a free day built for fun — your child can bounce from ballet to hip-hop to tap, try every style that catches their eye, and find the one that makes them light up. Think mini dance classes, music, games, and plenty of room to be silly and shine, meet the teachers who’ll cheer them on all year, and — when you find the perfect fit — sign up right on the spot. No experience, no pressure, no cost: just a joyful afternoon to send off the summer in motion. Come dance with us!
