Young Dancers Program

Kick Dance Studios have built a reputation for excellence in dance instruction.

From your child’s first class to their graduation performance, Kick has a class for everyone. We specialize in beginners of all ages and offer training through pre-professional levels. But Kick is More Than Just Great Dancing™! Our dancers go beyond technique to develop important life skills, learning to be respectful, confident and conscientious young people who share their gifts and talents with the community.

Kick offers a wide variety of Dance, Acro, Musical Theater, and Vocal classes for all ages and abilities. It is our goal to provide the highest quality training while developing a love for the arts. Classes are all instructed in a supportive, non-competitive atmosphere. Our emphasis is placed on personal development and achieving goals.

Kick’s air-conditioned facilities feature off-street parking at both locations, professional dance floors (Sprung Marley Dance Floor, Rumson and Wood, Fair Haven), video monitoring, dancewear retail stores, waiting room (Rumson), and Tumble Trak for Acro.

Our dance school students come to us from Rumson, Fair Haven, Oceanport, Little Silver, Red Bank, Monmouth Beach, Long Branch, Eatontown, Shrewsbury, Oceanport, NJ and beyond.

Little Ones Sparkle and Shine at Kick Dance Studios Young Dancers Twirl Program

Ages 1-6

The young dancers program at Kick is a developmentally appropriate program designed to give our young dancers the best start possible. Dancers learn technical dance skills and develop a positive self-image in an engaging format designed to stimulate both mind and body. We strongly believe that dance is a performing art, and our end of the year recital is the perfect culmination for our wonderful year! Kick is proud to use the Twirl program designed to keep dance fun and fanciful for our youngest dancers!

Twirl ~ a fun + fanciful approach to dance class!

This season, we are offering an amazing new program to enhance your dancer’s experience in dance class––Twirl! As a supplement to our existing curriculum, Twirl is a fun + fanciful approach to dance class, and inspires creativity and imagination in your child while reinforcing dance basics.
As a Twirly girl, your dancer will receive:
  • A Twirl activity book: We will utilize the book at least once per month during class, so we will store it at the studio all year. We will personalize it to your dancer, and she can take it home at the end of the year for continued fun!
  • A Twirl ribbon for her dance bag: Each week, at the end of class, your dancer will earn a rhinestone for her ribbon. At the end of the dance year, she will have a super sparkly souvenir of her dance year!
  • A Twirl Graduation Celebration Certificate: At the end of the dance year, we will host a mini-performance during dance class to demonstrate some of the fun and unique activities we’ve learned throughout the year, where your child will earn a certificate!
Your little dancer will look forward to dance day each week with the fun and imaginative activities offered in her Twirl class!
