Our San Ramon Dance Programs
Our programs are designed to meet the unique needs of each dancer as they grow. Whether your child is just beginning or already has experience, we offer a full range of classes that are fun, engaging, and educational.
Twinkle Star Dance™ Program (Ages 2–6)
The Twinkle Star Dance™ program is our signature early childhood dance curriculum that provides an exciting, imaginative, and developmentally appropriate introduction to dance.
Twinkle Baby & Me (18 months–2 years): A joyful caregiver-and-child class that introduces movement, rhythm, and bonding through dance.
Twinkle Babies (2–3 years): A fun, structured environment for toddlers to explore basic ballet and tap with guidance from experienced instructors.
Twinkle Stars (3–6 years): These age-specific classes build foundational skills in ballet and tap while encouraging creativity and expression through games, props, and music.
Our preschool program helps young dancers develop motor skills, listening, coordination, and confidence, all while having a blast.
The Ballet School
Classical ballet is the foundation of all dance, and our Ballet School offers a progressive program that develops strong technique, discipline, and artistry.
Beginning Ballet: Introduces basic positions, terminology, and technique in a supportive, engaging environment.
Intermediate & Advanced Ballet: Builds on prior skills with barre work, center combinations, and choreography. Students who are ready may be invited to begin pointe training.
Our ballet students have the opportunity to participate in full-length performances such as The Nutcracker, allowing them to experience the beauty and tradition of classical ballet.
Jazz Dance
Our jazz classes are vibrant, athletic, and full of personality. Jazz dance focuses on flexibility, musicality, and strong movements, often taught with high-energy choreography and upbeat music. It’s perfect for dancers who love expressive, fast-paced routines.
Tap Dance
Tap dance develops timing, rhythm, and musicality through the use of the feet as percussion instruments. Our San Ramon tap classes are designed to be fun and challenging, with students learning various styles and techniques as they progress.
Hip-Hop Dance
One of the most popular classes in San Ramon, our hip-hop program introduces kids to urban dance styles in a fun, energetic environment. Choreography is age-appropriate, music is clean, and classes emphasize movement, rhythm, and individuality.
Lyrical / Contemporary Dance
These expressive styles combine the structure of ballet with the freedom of jazz. Lyrical and contemporary classes teach dancers how to tell stories through movement, interpret music emotionally, and develop their unique style. These are great for students looking to grow as artists and performers.
Combo Dance Classes
Perfect for younger dancers, combo classes introduce multiple styles in one session. Common combinations include ballet/tap and jazz/hip-hop. These classes offer variety and give students the opportunity to discover what styles they enjoy most.
Creative Movement
For our youngest dancers, Creative Movement classes offer an imaginative, low-pressure introduction to movement, rhythm, and musicality. These classes focus on coordination and body awareness while letting kids explore their creativity.
