THE SCHOOL

As the only pursuit that marries artistry and athleticism, dance sets children up for an active lifestyle while contributing to a cultured upbringing. It's the perfect activity for imaginative children who love music, performing, and eating up open space!

At ALDEN MOVES Dance Theater, we believe that dance is more than fun—it’s exhilarating! We want all of our students to experience the thrill of learning to fly and leap and float and feel. Our teachers believe that the true artistry of dance is founded in strong technique, musicality, and a broad foundational knowledge of dance history and contemporary context.

In small classes, usually 10 students or fewer, children receive personalized attention and plenty of inspiration under the careful guidance of professional dancers from the ALDEN MOVES Dance Theater company. We’re serious about establishing a strong technical foundation, but we are also serious about the fun we can have along the way. Classes are playful and nurturing, performances are magical, and kids relish their new-found abilities.

There’s no substitute for the nuances that dancers pick up through live music, and we're proud to be one of only 2 studios in Brooklyn that offers live piano accompaniment for ballet classes.
