Ballet & Me

Ages 18m-3 years

In Ballet & Me, you and your little dancer will explore early ballet basics together through gentle movement, music, and playful imagination. With you right by their side, your child builds coordination, confidence, and a joyful connection to dance in a warm, supportive environment.

It’s a sweet, low-pressure way to start the weekend and make meaningful memories—one plié at a time. 

Pre-Ballet/Tap

Ages 3 – 4 

Each week, dancers will spend about 20 minutes learning ballet basics before switching to tap for another 20 minutes of fun and rhythm. It’s a wonderful way to start the weekend, building coordination, confidence, and a love of movement. Parents can also watch the class live from our waiting room video feed!

Ages 3-5

Give your child a joyful, confidence-building start in music! Our small-group piano classes (capped at just six students) use The Studios Brookhaven’s proprietary curriculum to introduce not only piano fundamentals, but the building blocks of music as a whole. Students learn rhythm, hand position, note reading, musical patterns, and creative expression in an engaging, age-appropriate format.
