Twinkle Star Dance™ Program (Ages 2–6)
Our Twinkle Star Dance™ program is a beloved favorite among families and one of the most recognized children’s dance programs in the Bay Area. These classes are designed specifically for preschool-aged children and are based on the belief that learning dance should be fun, imaginative, and structured.
Twinkle Baby & Me (18 months–2 years): A parent-participation class that introduces toddlers to music, movement, and basic dance concepts. This class is focused on building motor skills, rhythm, and bonding with a caregiver.
Twinkle Babies (2–3 years): A gentle introduction to independent class participation. Dancers begin learning basic ballet and tap skills in a nurturing, play-based environment that supports their emotional and physical development.
Twinkle Stars (3–6 years): These classes are divided by age group and combine ballet and tap instruction with creative movement. The curriculum includes age-appropriate dance technique, musical games, and storytelling to keep children engaged and motivated.
The Ballet School
For dancers interested in classical training, The Ballet School at Tiffany’s offers a progressive and structured curriculum. Ballet provides a strong technical foundation that supports all other dance styles.
Students begin with introductory ballet classes where they learn fundamental positions, terminology, and technique. As they progress, they build on this foundation through barre work, center combinations, and choreography. Our advanced students have opportunities to learn pointe work and perform in classical productions like The Nutcracker.
Jazz Dance
Jazz is one of the most energetic and popular dance styles at Tiffany’s. It combines flexibility, strength, rhythm, and style, and is an excellent choice for students who love fast-paced movement and dynamic choreography. Our jazz classes focus on proper technique while encouraging dancers to bring their own personality to the floor. Students learn leaps, turns, kicks, and routines set to upbeat music that challenges and excites them.
Tap Dance
Tap dance is all about rhythm and sound. In our tap classes, students learn to use their feet like instruments, creating percussive rhythms and patterns. Classes include warm-ups, across-the-floor exercises, and fun routines. Tap dance improves musicality, timing, and coordination and is a great complement to other dance styles.
Hip-Hop Dance
Our hip-hop classes are fun, fast-paced, and high-energy. Dancers learn age-appropriate choreography set to contemporary music, focusing on style, performance, and creativity. Hip-hop is a great outlet for self-expression and builds confidence while keeping students physically active and engaged.
Lyrical and Contemporary Dance
Lyrical and contemporary dance styles blend elements of ballet and jazz while emphasizing emotional expression and storytelling through movement. These classes challenge students to interpret music through fluid and expressive choreography. They are ideal for dancers who want to explore artistry and deepen their emotional connection to dance.
Combo Dance Classes
For young dancers who want to try more than one style, we offer combo classes that include a mix of ballet, tap, and jazz. These classes provide a well-rounded introduction to dance and allow students to discover which styles they enjoy most.
Creative Movement
Creative Movement classes are designed for our youngest dancers and focus on imagination, body awareness, and coordination. These playful sessions encourage exploration and are a gentle way to introduce toddlers to the joy of movement.
Summer Dance Camps
Our themed summer dance camps are one of the highlights of the year. These camps provide a fun and enriching environment where children can continue dancing during the summer months while enjoying crafts, snacks, and themed activities.
