What age does my student need to be to attend Young Mover Dance Classes?

We offer two different Young Mover Dance Classes, one for ages 3-4 and one for ages 5-6. 

For younger students, check out our Mommy & Me classes. 

For older students, check out the rest of our Dance Studio Classes. 

What should my child wear to dance class?

For Combo Classes (ages 3-4 & 5-6) – leotard, solid color tights or leggings, ballet and/or jazz shoes and tap shoes.

First Act Dance Studio strives to create a safe and professional environment for dancers to work and learn. In order to do this, the following guidelines have been established:

• Hair should be pulled back away from face and secured.
• Girls should put hair in a bun for all ballet classes.
• Various shoes are required for proper instruction in classes.
• All dance shoes, bags, and property of the dancer should be labeled with the dancer’s name.
• No jewelry should be worn during class.
• No gum, food or drinks are allowed during class time. Water bottles are an exception.

What if my child doesn’t know anyone?

We encourage a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere where kids will meet new friends. With plenty of new faces and small class sizes, students quickly feel like they belong and have the opportunity to make friends right away.

Do you have to be a Christian to come to First Act?

No. First Act Theatre Arts holds to Christian values of family, community, leadership, and positive encouragement. We welcome all kids of varying faiths, backgrounds, and beliefs.

What if my child has a disability?

First Act Theatre Arts openly welcomes children with disabilities. Further, First Act proudly offers our HEART program (Helping to Encourage Awareness and Recognition in Theatre). Please let us know what we can do to help!  Before classes begin, you will want to fill out the HEART application and support form. First Act will work with you to assist your child.  Please give us as much information as possible so we can make your child’s experience successful.

To see if your child qualifies for a new family scholarship, please reach out to our HEART coordinator, Josie Strickler, at heart@firstactkc.org.
