— What It Is —

A fun-filled
introduction to dance.

A ballet and tap combination class for 2 – 4 year olds is a fun-filled and dynamic class that incorporates the fundamentals of both ballet and tap dancing. The class introduces young dancers to basic dance movements and techniques through creative, age-appropriate exercises, games, and activities.

Children will develop their motor skills, confidence, and coordination while learning how to move to music. The ballet portion focuses on developing grace, poise, posture, and flexibility — while the tap portion emphasizes rhythm, timing, and coordination of the feet.

Through imaginative play and exploration, young dancers are introduced to the joy of dance in a safe and nurturing environment. For most families, this is the very first dance class their child takes — and where many of our long-time dancers begin their journey.

— What They'll Discover —

Six things a tiny dancer takes home.

More than steps — the early gifts of dance class.

I.

Grace & Poise (Ballet)

Basic positions, gentle pliés, simple ports de bras — teaching the calm, controlled side of movement.

II.

Rhythm & Timing (Tap)

Simple shuffles, flaps, and stamps — discovering how their feet can make music.

III.

Motor Skills & Coordination

Skipping, marching, balancing on one foot — the building blocks of every movement art.

IV.

Confidence in Their Body

A class that says "you can do this" — every week, in a way that builds bravery for years to come.

V.

Imaginative Play

Stories, props, and themes that turn class into adventure — and learning into joy.

VI.

Listening & Following Direction

Following a teacher in a group setting — gentle preparation for school, friendships, and structured play.

Dancer's Gallery is a place I consider my childhood and where I grew up. Christie Stark is the most dedicated and welcoming Dance teacher and studio owner I could ever imagine. I looked up to her each and every day and considered her my role model as well as the rest of the dance teachers there. Along the way I made some lifetime friends and memories I will never forget. Dancer's Gallery will forever be in my heart and is the best place for anyone to find their passion in dance. It goes way beyond just a dance studio. It becomes a second home. XOXO

I want to give a HUUUUUGE shoutout to Dancers Gallery on Flamingo near Sterling!! I'm going crazy with just two kids while school is closed, but they opened their doors to all kids today in our community for a free Irma Relief Day Camp and discounted prices the rest of the week until school resumes. It was our first time there, and I can't say enough good things about how well organized it was as well as how kind all the staff were. It's a HUGE studio run by people with even HUGER hearts.

My daughter has been a CAST Member at Dancers Gallery (Competition Team) for 4 years now and her growth as a dancer is just amazing! I am looking forward to a great competition season this year! Their summer intensive is 2nd to none and the instructors take pride in their work and love our children as if they were their own! Love our Dancers Gallery Family!

Dancer's Gallery was heaven on earth for my daughter. She danced there from the age of 3 until she was 14 years old. The teachers are wonderful. The atmosphere makes you feel comfortable to drop your child off at class and run an errand. My daughter would live there if she could! Ms. Christie was not only one of her instructors she became family. I feel privileged that my daughter had the chance to attend! Dancer's Gallery helped make my daughter the confident young lady she is today.

I have been a part of Dancer's Gallery for 18 years and it's been the most amazing experience. Miss Christie is one of the most amazing people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Miss Christie and her entire staff go above and beyond for their students. This new studio in Cooper City is amazing. You feel like home when you walk in there. I wish Miss Christie and the entire staff of Dancer's Gallery all the best in their new home.

From the minute you walk in here, it feels like a family environment. My girls have been dancing here for over 3 years and I have enjoyed seeing them fulfill their dreams in dance.

My daughter has been growing up with Dancer's Gallery since she was 3. She now teaches the next generation of artists. Her career in the arts flourished into: Dancing, Acting, Singing, Modeling, a Marlins Mermaid, Choreography, and has featured as a dancer in the movie "Rock of Ages". I attribute her talented skills to the training, discipline and opportunities offered in this wonderful environment.

Dancer's Gallery is the best dance studio around. Their facility is like no other and they offer a huge variety of performing arts for children and adults. Each instructor brings their own style and offer a lot of freedom of expression while focusing on technique. I love it there and love the fact that my two boys and daughter can share the experience of dancing at Dancer's Gallery. BRAVO!
