mommy & me
Our Mommy & Me class is a ballet-based dance class for ages 2 and 3. Your little dancer will learn the basics of dance with you right by their side. It’s a great way to introduce your child to a classroom structure by encouraging discipline and essential listening skills. Every class involves costumes and royal themes that help understand technique. And, of course, plenty of time to twirl across the dance floor with Mom or Dad.
Our dancers need to bring:
Attire: Leotard (any color) & ballet tights (pink)
Shoes: Leather-sole ballet shoes (pink)
Hair: Ballet bun (or otherwise pulled back)
Parents: Comfortable clothing (socks or bare feet)
Princess ballet
Our Princess Ballet program for ages 3-5 strives to educate our students with traditional techniques, build confidence, and encourage imagination. We provide a quality dance education through individual attention to nurture a love of dance, imbued with imagery and creativity that encourages dancers to think in their own, unique way. After the hard work is done, our dancers are rewarded with dress up and special choreography.
This class lets our students dance without their parent in the class. It is designed for dancers with experience in a structured classroom who are ready to be on their own in class. We evaluate each new Princess Ballet student individually, and may recommend beginning with at least one Mommy & Me class. It is up to the discretion of our instructors as to which class will let your child have the best experience.

FAQ
Where are you located?
We are located in the Kentlands, 347 Kentlands Blvd Gaithersburg, MD 20878. We are next to Alliage Salon and Giuseppe’s Pizza.
I’m not sure which class suits my child, how do I choose which class is best?
We are happy to schedule a free trial prior to enrollment if you would like. If you’re ready to get your child enrolled right away we suggest starting in the younger age range class. It is always easier to move up a level than to move down. Meaning if your little one is in between the Mommy & Me or Princess Ballet class we suggest starting in a Mommy & Me class.
Where can I purchase the required dance attire?
We have an online store for the convenience of our families under the “Our Shop”. All merchandise is organized by class to make it simple for parents to choose from. Items will be shipped to the studio within 7-10 business days of your order. We may also have some items and sizes in stock at the studio. We suggest coming in about 15 minutes prior to your child’s next class and our staff will be happy to assist you!
