☀️ Your little one’s BEST time of day might be the best time for dance!🩰

Our Wednesday morning Tutus & Bowties class is perfect for families who love a quieter, calmer start to their dance experience.

Parents love morning classes because:
💜 Little ones are often fresh, rested, and ready to learn
💜 The studio and hallways are quieter and less busy
💜 It’s a gentle introduction for first-time dancers
💜 You can enjoy an activity for your little one without adding one more thing to your evening

And there’s still plenty of day left after dance!

Tutus & Bowties | Ages 3–4
☀️ Wednesdays | 9:30–10:15 AM
📍 Morris

Twirl, tumble, imagine, and play with us this fall! 🩰✨

🤸 Tumbling spots are still available, but they’re going fast!

At Forte, tumbling is more than learning the next trick.

Our students train in weekly classes with a proven progression curriculum designed to build skills step by step, safely and confidently. Our instructors are trained in the same curriculum, so every tumbler has a clear developmental path while still getting the individual attention they need.

Because progress looks different for every child, but every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued along the way. 💜

✨ Safe progressions
✨ Trained instructors
✨ Weekly skill development
✨ Confidence that grows with every new skill

We still have openings in select tumbling classes for the new season!

Find your class and come tumble with us!🤸

Maybe your dancer LOVES dance, but you're thinking...

"Are we really ready for a performing group?"

That's exactly why Happy Feet Friends exists. 💜

It's our dip-your-toes-in performing group experience for dancers ages 4–6.

They get to experience being part of a team, performing for an audience and creating special memories, without jumping into a big commitment.

A little more dance. A little more confidence. A whole lot of fun.
