Children’s Division

At NAB School, we offer a range of exciting and engaging dance classes for our youngest students. Our Creative Movement 1 & 2, Ballet/Tap Combo 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.
