Bloom Program
Introductory Dance Sessions for Ages 1 - 4
Bella Dance Academy’s Bloom Program offers 9-week dance sessions that introduce the youngest of dancers (ages 1 - 4) to the joy of movement through music and dance. Each session is thoughtfully designed to enhance gross motor coordination, listening skills, musicality, and imaginative play, helping each dancer grow and bloom with confidence in a warm, welcoming, and encouraging environment.
All ages are based on the dancer's age at the end of each session.
Fall Session: September 13th - November 15th
(No Class October 11th)
Winter Session: January 10th - March 7th
Spring Session: April 4th - May 30th

Are parents/grown-ups allowed in the classroom?
This depends on the class! “My Sprout & Me” is a class where grown-ups assist their dancer through their first dance class experience. Grown-ups are required to accompany their dancer and support them in the classroom. For all other classes, dancers are expected to be independent in the classroom. We want to encourage them to become confident moving on their own. However, we know that some dancers may have unique needs in the classroom. If your dancer needs additional support, talk with the instructor, and we’ll work with you to find options!
My dancer turns 3 years old partway through the session. Can I still register them for a Bloom session?
Yes! All of our registration is based on the dancers age at the end of the session.
Is my dancer signed up for the whole year?
No, your dancer is only registered for the 9 weeks of the Bloom session you register for during registration. If you register for a fall Bloom session, you’ll have to register them again for the winter and/or spring sessions. However, you do have the opportunity to register for all 3 sessions at the time of registration and receive a 5% discount, plus the FREE opportunity to participate in our “My First Rectial.”
When do I need to register my dancer?
Registration for each session will open 2-3 months in advance. - Registration for Fall sessions (September - December) opens in June - Registration for Winter sessions (January - March) opens in November - Registration for Spring sessions (March - May) opens in February
Is my dancer in the Year End Show?
No, the Year-End Show is for annual classes only. However, students enrolled in our spring session can participate in our “My First Recital” experience! "My First Recital" is a fun, low-pressure performance at the studio for family and friends. Dancers who participate in all three sessions (Fall, Winter, and Spring) can attend free of charge. Dancers in our Spring Session can participate for only $35 + GST.
