Children’s Dance Classes in Greenwich, CT

Welcome to Petite Ballet

Petite Ballet is a unique early childhood dance studio created especially for young children. Located inside Beam & Barre in Cos Cob, Petite Ballet offers nurturing ballet and creative movement classes for toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and early elementary students.

Here, ballet is taught through imagination, storytelling, props, music, and play. Dancers tiptoe through fairytales, practice balance like graceful birds, learn rhythm through nursery rhymes, and discover the confidence that comes from moving their bodies with joy.

Where Dance Begins with Imagination

Petite Ballet is designed for the earliest years of dance, when children are just beginning to explore movement, music, independence, and self-expression.

Our classes combine age-appropriate ballet foundations with creative movement, classical music, nursery rhymes, props, and imaginative themes. Rather than rushing young dancers into a traditional studio experience, Petite Ballet meets children exactly where they are developmentally.

Every class is built to help dancers feel accomplished, valued, and proud. Our goal is simple: each child should leave class feeling like the best dancer in the room.
