Last week I had the opportunity to attend Dance Education Unlimited 2′s “Little Ballerinas” class. Oh my goodness, two and three-year-old girls in tutus are just the cutest!
The studio was created by local mom Toni Drummond and her partner Omar Diaz out of a passion for dance and their local community. As soon as I walked in the door I could feel the family atmosphere of the studio – there was a clear emphasis on having fun, self expression and a love of dance.
This class is perfect for any little one who wants a fun, warm, and inviting introduction to ballet. The instructor, Jennifer Shearer, was great with this age group. The girls were excited to enter, eager to practice technique and had a blast when it was time to freely dance their little hearts out.

I liked that the studio really seemed to take the needs of the parents into account as well. There was a television in the waiting area to watch the class. Also, on the day I visited, a parent of a first time student was allowed into the classroom to watch (and even participate) from the back. The parent did not seem to be a distraction to anyone and in the end her daughter happily made it through the class. Click here to read full article.
