From the reviews

The ballet hip hop classes for Littles are FANTASTIC. My daughter is introverted but twirls everywhere. We needed something that would burn energy and bring her out. Miss Maddie and Miss Madison’s classes did exactly that. The mix of ballet and hip hop at this age is great.

★★★★★ — Kristine, Jun 2026

We've been going for a few weeks now and my daughter absolutely loves her teacher. She is on the shy side but Ms Maddie has got her to open up with her energy and genuineness. Ms Denise is also very welcoming and ready to help if a dancer needs to use the potty =) The kids are in good hands here.

★★★★★ — Nessa, Mar 2026

My daughter absolutely loves her Ballet / Hip Hop class here every Saturday, and she is still dancing around the living room in her costume from her first recital a few months ago. REALLY lovely teachers and small classes at a great price. Can't go wrong!

Your first ballet class at The Little Dance School - Kids Dance Classes - Park Slope, Brooklyn

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
