Tiny Dancers® is more than just a ballet school, it's a specialized dance program designed for children ages 2-12. Our studios, located in Fairfax, Alexandria and Gainesville, Virginia*, feature a ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop and musical theatre program that provides young dancers with an outstanding technical foundation in a fun and nurturing environment. Students are encouraged to learn through creative self-expression, exploration of movement and age-appropriate choreography.

While our core emphasis is on classical ballet, tap and jazz technique, the Tiny Dancers curriculum uses choreographed stories and fairy tales -- along with hundreds of custom-made costumes and props, as a teaching vehicle for dancers 2-5.  Each week, the lesson plan is reinforced and brought to life as the students dance the adventures of “An American Tale”, re-enact "Sleeping Beauty" or become the prince or princess in "Cinderella".

As our students master the fundamentals and mature as dancers, they graduate from fairy tales to a more intensive focus on technique, style, interpretation and choreography. At each step, we remain committed to providing the best dance education available by emphasizing positive self-esteem, technical excellence and a love of the art of dance.

* In addition to our three main studios, Tiny Dancers is available at pre-schools, community centers and academies in Alexandria, Middleburg, Dulles South, Lorton, and Falls Church. Not all locations provide open enrollment. Call for details.
