After School Program-2026

At ESTIA, all of our teachers are working professional dancers who are actively performing, choreographing, and contributing to the dance community. We believe that we are all lifelong students, and that philosophy is reflected in our faculty’s approach to teaching and learning.

We also strive to create welcoming and empowering spaces that both challenge and inspire our movers. Our classes emphasize commitment, curiosity, and joy, helping each student grow not only as a dancer but as an artist and individual.

Ballet & Contemporary/Modern!

Check out the full schedule above.

Because dismissal times vary by school, we’ve created a flexible drop-off window from 2:30–3:30pm. You can bring your child at any point during this hour. During this time, students will have the chance to change into their dance clothes, enjoy a quick snack (brought from home), catch up on homework, and take part in light community-building activities. We’ll also give them time to stretch and get into their bodies before class begins. Ballet class starts promptly at 3:30pm.

For children being picked up directly from Brooklyn Arbor, the ESTIA team will meet them at school at dismissal and walk them over to the studio. They will follow the same routine—time for a quick snack (brought from home), changing, and settling in before class starts.

At ESTIA, we aim to offer flexibility for busy families. Pick-up is available anytime between 5:00–5:30pm. During this window, students will take part in a cool down, change and gather their things, and have time to socialize with classmates while they wait to be picked up.

Yes! We offer optional pick up for students that attend Brooklyn Arbor.

additional fee $250 for the Winter or Spring Program or $400 for both.

Each age group is capped at 10 students per class. This small class size allows us to provide individualized attention and create an intimate learning environment that supports strong community building. Our focus is on truly developing dance technique—not just offering another extracurricular activity.
