Studio 509 Kids!

KIDS!/TEEN CLASSES AGES 4-18

Dance Fusion/Total Fitness/Tap/Hip Hop/Move n’ Groove

Our mission at STUDIO 509 KIDS is to provide quality programming for kids and teens in an environment that is supportive and non-competitive. Dance is a form of physical expression, it instills a sense of discipline and respect… for our students, their classmates and their teachers.

In our classes, kids work on their muscular endurance, their flexibility, and their coordination. They learn to connect their mind to their body. Each child in the class will interpret the movement and music differently. We create a structure in which our students can find freedom. Dance is fun and we celebrate this at STUDIO 509!

Birthday Parties

AGES 4 AND UP

Studio 509 Kids parties last 90 minutes.

The class portion is 45-50 minutes of dance/fitness. We keep them moving the whole time with fun music, easy to learn dances, hooping and a fun obstacle course. We tailor the playlist for the birthday child so you can let us know your childʼs favorite songs and we’ll incorporate those into your party playlist.

For the last 45 minutes, we spread a big tablecloth on the floor and the kids eat “picnic” style. You are welcome to bring in food and decorations of your choice. Typically families order pizzas, bring cupcakes and provide water or juice boxes. We discourage ice cream and open juice cups as they are difficult to clean in our setting. We are there the entire time to help set up, serve and clean up!
