After School Dance Program-2026

Thursdays: Grades 1, 2 & 3
Enrollment is still open!
We are thrilled to offer our After School Program during 2026 including Ballet & Modern/Contemporary Dance Classes (starting at pre-K all the way through Grade 6).
In this program we will work on dance technique, developing our creativity while cultivating community. Each program will culminate with a performance for friends and family!
Our program is split in two parts (WINTER & SPRING) so families can get to know us without committing for the full semester.

Why Families Love this Program
We center learning and joy rather than pressure, over-preparation, or expensive recital culture. Young dancers learn real technique in intimate groups, building confidence, body awareness, skill, and creative curiosity without the distractions or costs of performance-focused programs.
Our After School Programs provide fun environment for your kids with the added bonus of seeing them grow in their end of class performance! ESTIA also provides diverse offerings for both you AND your kids all in one location!

Logistics
-
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.
