As of Sep 13, 2026, Enrollercoaster tracks 10 dance classes for school-age kids in Manhattan, from 5 providers including Fastbreak Sports, West Side YMCA, and Vanderbilt YMCA. 8 are open for registration right now, and the rest are closed or not yet reporting a status. 60% of the programs with a published schedule meet on a Saturday or Sunday; the rest are weekday-only.
Prices. Across the 9 programs that publish a price, the typical (median) listed price is $250; most fall between $160 and $289, with a full range of $55 to $4,750. Providers list prices differently — a single class, a month, or a full term — so compare the registration pages, not just the number.
Ages. Every program here accepts at least part of the school-age kids range (ages 5–12); the list leads with the classes built for this age and finishes with those that only touch it at the edge.
Where the open spots are. By neighborhood, the most dance classes for school-age kids with open registration today are in Upper West Side (3 open), Upper East Side (2 open), Midtown East (2 open), and Chelsea (1 open). Neighborhood counts change daily as providers open and close sessions.
For school-age children (5 to 12), programs split by ability as much as by age, and this is the band with the widest choice: recreational classes, leagues with games, competitive tracks and multi-week camps. After-school and weekend slots dominate; weekday daytime programs in this band are mostly school-break camps.
8 of the 10 dance classes for school-age kids we track in Manhattan are open for registration as of Sep 13, 2026. Status is read from each provider's own registration system every morning.
The typical listed price is $250, and most of the 9 priced programs fall between $160 and $289. Prices are as published by each provider and may cover one session, a month or a full term.
Usually yes, if the child's age falls inside the range the provider publishes. On this page the classes built specifically for ages 5–12 are listed first; those that only overlap the edge of the range come last, so check the age chip on each card.
Today the most open dance classes for school-age kids are in Upper West Side (3 open), Upper East Side (2 open), and Midtown East (2 open). These counts are recomputed every morning.
