Ages 5 - 6
At Bella Dance Academy, dancers ages 5 - 6 have the opportunity to dance in our Blossom 9-Week Program and our Kinder Program.
All ages as of December 31st 2026.
Bella Dance Academy’s Blossom Program offers 9-week dance sessions that allow dancers ages 5 – 6 to explore new dance styles alongside their annual classes, enhancing their dance technique, strength, and flexibility before being introduced to BDA’s full class repertoire. Each session is designed around a specific style where dancers will learn foundational movements and techniques, adequately preparing them for BDA’s Level 1 classes.
BDA's Blossom Program is also a great opportunity for children who are brand new to dance to try classes for the very first time in a fun, supportive, and age-appropriate environment. Dancers can explore different styles, build confidence, and discover a love for movement before committing to a full-year program.
With three sessions each dance season (fall, winter, spring) and three styles (jazz, modern, hip hop), it is recommended that dancers try all three styles (one per session) to enhance their dancing and to see which styles they enjoy before entering BDA’s Level 1 classes.

Bella Dance Academy’s Kinder Program is an annual program running from September 2026 - June 2027, designed for dancers ages 5 - 6 to build confidence and friendship while learning basic dance techniques, preparing dancers for BDA’s Level 1 classes in a positive environment that fosters fun and creativity.
Dancers registered in any of BDA’s Kinder Program classes have the opportunity to participate in BDA’s Year-End Show at the end of the dance season in June 2027 on the Northern Arts and Cultural (NACC) stage. Participation is not required, but highly encouraged. Please notify the office before Sunday, November 1st 2026 if your dancer will not be participating.
