Focusing on rhythm, body awareness, and simple choreography, our hippity-hop dance classes for kids are high energy and fun. They will learn body isolations, kicks, and jumps as they prepare for the following hip-hop classes that begin around age six.

This program is a continuation of the Toddler Leap ‘N Learn dance class and ends when a child turns eight years old. Dr. Annie Spell (child psychologist) and Beverly Spell (master teacher) developed this nationally-recognized program that introduces children to ballet. By using pretend play and music, our certified instructors use movements that encourage the development of cognitive, motor, and social skills.

Children love to make noise and move – our tap dance classes for kids let them do both. In these classes, our instructors focus on furthering your child’s understanding of rhythm, music counting, timing, and different tap patterns. Beginning tappers will build a strong foundation for their future in the art form. We encourage dancers to explore their creative style as they groove to the music and shuffle out their energy.

We welcome boys into any dance class at Velocity Dance Center. To appeal especially to young boys, we offer a superhero hippity-hop class for ages three to six. During this class, students pretend to be their favorite heroes, wear capes, and learn the beginning moves of hip-hop dance.

When your child is six, we welcome them to try our jazz dance classes for kids. During these fun and energetic classes, students learn how to interpret the music and execute fancy footwork, quick turns, and big leaps. Your child will explore  Broadway-style jazz dance as well as lyrical, contemporary, jazz-funk, and commercial jazz styles.

Our hip-hop dance classes for kids give them the change to leap, spin, and jump as they learn the latest dance moves. If you have a high-energy child, this class is a perfect fit. Our instructors encourage personal expression, which gives your child the chance to find their style. From breaking and popping to locking and freestyle, students learn different techniques in both large and small groups.

Starting at age eight, Velocity Dance Center begins classical ballet instruction. Each ballet dance classes for kids consists of barre, center work, and progressions across the floor. Our young dancers develop solid ballet technique with an emphasis on body alignment, proper use of rotation, coordination of the upper and lower body, and use of arms. For advanced dancers, we offer pointe classes instruction.
