Toddler class questions

Still have a question? Call (513) 923-2356 or email office@emerge-dance.com.

Do I stay in the room?

For Parent & Me, yes. You dance alongside your toddler. For Tiny Tots, dancers join the teacher in class while parents watch on the lobby viewing monitors.

What if my toddler is shy at first?

That’s completely normal. Classes are small and playful, and teachers use music, props and familiar routines to help little ones feel comfortable week by week.

Can we start mid-session?

Yes. Toddler & Tots dancers can join at any time, and you only pay for the classes you attend.
