Children’s Programs

Ages 3-7 
No experience required

School of Philadelphia Ballet’s Children’s Programs introduce young students to the world of dance through creative movement, music, games, and imaginative play. In a nurturing and structured environment, dancers build confidence while developing key skills such as gross motor coordination, spatial awareness, musicality, and body awareness. Each class is designed to be a joyful and enriching experience that fosters self-esteem and a love of movement. 

Our Children’s Programs have an open enrollment policy—no audition is required. Please note that space is limited and classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
