AGES 5-7
Build a foundation. Explore what they love.
This is an exciting stage of a dancer's journey. They're ready to learn more, try new things, and start discovering what kinds of dance they enjoy.
Some dancers are ready to build a foundation in several styles. Others already know they love hip hop, performing, acro, or musical theater.
There isn't one right way to dance. At Millstone Dance, we'll help your dancer find a class where they can learn, grow, have fun, and feel like they belong.
New to dance? No problem.
Many of our dancers are just getting started. We'll help you find a class that's a good fit for your dancer's age, experience, and interests.
