I have a 2 year old. I am starting to look into dance studios and gymnastics for my 2 year old. I am not familiar with any in these area. If anyone has any opnions I would greatly appreciate it. Also if you know any that start at 2 1/2 that would be great too... Feed back is greatly appreciated!
My best friends daugter attended EXCEL dance studio. She was young when she started and competed in competitions for dance. It is located in the same parking lot with the Dollar General store on Main Street. Just down from highway 70. Near the Sonic.
I send my twins to North Side Gymnastics. The owner/coach Janet is incredible with children and she is an excellent coach. We visited several of the local gymnastic places and I didn't care for the overall feel of the places. They just gave me bad vibes. My children are kids for heavens sake, no 3 year old Olympians.
I just signed my daughter up for the ballet/tap combo class at Excel. They gymnastics coach suggested them.
Performing Arts Centre on Main Street in St. Charles is awesome! They are nationally known. I dance there and so does my friend and her 4 kids. They have all kinds of classes for all ages, mom's too!
My daughter went to Little Gym and loved it!! The people are great and really pay attention to the kids and make sure everyone has a lot of fun. I think it is a little pricey, but well worth the money in my opinion. I think until they are 3 a parent accompanies them into the class and then once they turn 3 they go in by themselves and you can watch from the windowed lobby.
My daughter also did dance lessons this past spring at LA Dance Center in O'Fallon right off Mexico road. It was great; a little laid back, but the teacher she had was awesome. The price was great. It was 10 weeks of lessons for only $50. It was a special class just for 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 year olds. Once they hit 3 1/2 they have longer classes that are a little more expensive, but not by much. It was a great program and my daughter seemed to learn a lot.
Hope this helps!! Good luck!
Inertia in Lake St. Louis is great! (by Walmart & Lowes off N) Their prices are very reasonable and the staff is very knowledgable. I know they offer classes to kids that young and do have tumbling. You can also try a class free. Highly recommended!! We have been very happy there.
