Kids' dance classes for school-age kids across NYC, by the numbers

As of Sep 13, 2026, Enrollercoaster tracks 196 dance classes for school-age kids across NYC, from 21 providers including All Star Studios NYC, Mark Morris Dance Group, and Vicky Simegiatos Performing Arts Center. 131 are open for registration right now, and the rest are closed or not yet reporting a status. 1 program is listed as free. 43% of the programs with a published schedule meet on a Saturday or Sunday; the rest are weekday-only.

Prices. Across the 106 programs that publish a price, the typical (median) listed price is $50; most fall between $25 and $168, with a full range of $25 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 Forest Hills (35 open), Bay Ridge (28 open), Fort Greene (12 open), Rockaway Park (8 open), and Bellerose (6 open). Neighborhood counts change daily as providers open and close sessions.

What to expect from a kids' dance class for school-age kids

Dance classes for young children in NYC are usually creative movement or pre-ballet: 30 to 45 minutes of rhythm games, stretching and simple steps that build coordination and the habit of following a teacher. From around age 5 or 6, studios split into ballet, hip-hop, tap, jazz and contemporary, with classes that run 45 minutes to an hour and often build toward a year-end recital. Dress codes vary by studio — ballet usually asks for a leotard, tights and soft shoes, while hip-hop is sneakers and comfortable clothes — so check before the first class. Most studios offer a trial class or a drop-in rate before you enroll for a term. 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.
