Why It Matters

What You'll Love About Dance With Me

This class is about more than learning dance steps. It is a weekly moment of movement, music, and togetherness that your little one will look forward to all week.

Musical Exploration
Little dancers discover rhythm, beat, and melody through age-appropriate songs and movement. These early musical experiences build listening skills and a love of the arts that carries well beyond the studio.
A Special Bonding Tradition
Getting on the floor and moving together is one of the most joyful things you can do with your toddler. Dance With Me gives you both a weekly reason to laugh, wiggle, and just be present with each other.
A First Step Into Dance
Simple movements, creative play, and gentle structure give little ones their very first taste of what a dance class feels like, in an environment that is warm, patient, and built for this age.
The Encore Community
The same welcoming, family-first culture that Encore families have trusted since 1996, sized for the smallest dancers on our floor.

FAQ

Questions Families Ask About Dance With Me

Everything you need to know before your little one's first class.

What should my child wear to class?+

Comfortable, stretchy clothing that is easy to move in. Soft-soled shoes, ballet slippers, or bare feet work perfectly for this age group. Your little one will be doing a lot of moving, so skip anything too stiff or restrictive.

Do I need dance experience to participate?+

Not at all. This class is designed for grown-ups and toddlers to explore movement together. No prior dance background is needed, just bring your enthusiasm and your dancing shoes (optional!).

Can a grandparent or other caregiver bring my child instead of a parent?+

Yes. Any trusted grown-up is welcome to participate alongside your little one.

What happens if we miss a class?+

Because Dance With Me runs on a flat-fee session model, individual missed classes are not refunded or made up. We encourage families to attend every week to get the full experience of the session.
