Children’s Division
At NAB School, we offer a range of exciting and engaging dance classes for our youngest students.
Baby Dance Jam is the perfect opportunity for parents to socialize, get moving and introduce their babies to music and rhythm. Our Creative Movement and Pre-Ballet are specifically designed for children aged 3-7, where they can explore their imagination and express themselves through joyful and imaginative movement. It provides a nurturing environment that encourages self-confidence and creativity.
For children ages 7-9, we offer Ballet Basics classes, which lay the foundation for classical ballet technique and discipline. These classes focus on developing strength, flexibility, and musicality while instilling a love for ballet.
Our experienced instructors ensure that each child receives the individual attention and guidance they need to thrive in their dance journey.
Please note: For this division, students can attend one or two classes per week for their class level.

Students continue to explore their own creativity, coordination and musicality through the study of two styles of dance.
