Wednesday Kids Class - Learn & Explore
(Recommended Starting Point)
Our Wednesday class is all about discovery! We introduce new steps, styles, and skills each week to spark curiosity and build confidence in every young dancer.
With a balance of creativity and structure, students begin to understand musicality, partnering, and technique while still having a blast. Your tiny dancer will feel supported, excited, and proud of what they’re learning as they develop routines and gain skills they can take into Dancesport events or just enjoy for fun.
5pm-6pm
Ages: 4–12
First group class is free!
Friday Kids Class - Strength, Practice, & Progress
(Usually part of a 2-class per week program)
This class reinforces everything learned on Wednesdays by focusing on athleticism, coordination, stamina, and confidence. Kids get the chance to refine their patterns, polish their routines, and build the strength and agility that help them dance bigger and bolder.
This is where their skills start to click and where progress really shows.

What People Are Saying
My 7 years old daughter is a ballroom student at the studio for more than a year. We are very happy with teachers, their professionalism, patience for the little kids. Studio itself is clean, spacious, has nice ambiance.
— Svetlanaik ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As a parent, I can tell you that I love the people at YCD. The instructors are incredibly caring, patient, and truly invested in each child. Anna, Irina, and the other instructors bring so much love, warmth, and joy into every class. You can feel how much they care about both dance and family as soon as you walk in .
My daughter also loved dancing alongside her best friend and teammates at competitions. That experience has given her confidence, unforgettable memories, and a sense of belonging that goes far beyond dance.
I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done for my daughter and for the beautiful environment they’ve created for young dancers.
