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

As of Oct 28, 2026, Enrollercoaster tracks 207 dance classes for school-age kids across NYC, from 20 providers including All Star Studios NYC, Mark Morris Dance Group, and Vicky Simegiatos Performing Arts Center. 137 are open for registration right now, and the rest are closed or not yet reporting a status. 1 program is listed as free. 39% of the programs with a published schedule meet on a Saturday or Sunday; the rest are weekday-only.

Prices. Across the 120 programs that publish a price, the typical (median) listed price is $132; most fall between $105 and $484, with a full range of $45 to $830. 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 (39 open), Bay Ridge (27 open), Rockaway Park (16 open), Fort Greene (13 open), and Greenpoint (7 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.

Frequently asked questions

How many dance classes for school-age kids are open for registration across NYC right now?

137 of the 207 dance classes for school-age kids we track across NYC are open for registration as of Oct 28, 2026. Status is read from each provider's own registration system every morning.

Can a child in the school-age kids range join a class listed for a wider age range?

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.
