At The Young Innovators Collective, children don’t just take classes — they make the classes their own.

Across dance, theater, and film, kids help choreograph, perform, direct, and create, building confidence, collaboration, and creativity along the way.

Our Programs

Dance
From ballet to tap, kids create choreography, explore rhythm, and perform their own mini showcases. Every class is playful, structured, and designed for hands-on learning and creativity.

 

Theater
Children write, act, and direct their own scenes, learning storytelling, collaboration, and stage skills in a fun, supportive environment.

 

Film & Media
Kids produce short films, podcasts, and performances, experimenting with storytelling, editing, and creative expression — all while leading the process from start to finish.

What Makes Our Classes Different?

  • Child-Led Learning: Kids don’t just follow instructions — they help create choreography, scripts, and productions.
     

  • Small Classes, Big Impact: Limited group sizes mean every child is known, supported, and celebrated.
     

  • Project-Based Creativity: Every session works toward a real, meaningful performance or production, not just drills.
     

  • Personalized Progress: Teachers share snapshots of what each child is learning and where they shine.

Past Projects 

Meet Our Founder

Ms. Taylor started dancing at 3 and has spent years combining Early Childhood Education, Dance, and Mental Health expertise to create programs that truly work for kids.

She believes in structured learning, joyful exploration, and letting children lead their creative journey.

Our Cohort Model

Our classes run in small cohorts — eight kids, one instructor, eight weeks together. Long enough to build real friendships. Small enough that your child is never just a face in the crowd.

And halfway through, you'll get a personal note from their instructor on exactly how they're growing.

First

8:1 Class Ratios: Our class ratios are small so that your child is always seen and heard. Our instructors are there to make sure each child's first dance experience is positive.

Community Focused: We practice intentional community building through games that focus on connection and rapport building.

Families First: It is important to us that you are involved with every step of the way. Want to watch class? Of course. Want to have a quick phone call about your child's progress? Definitely. Our programs are built with the whole family in mind and communication is key.

What Families Have to Say

"The Young Innovators have been incredible for our son. The program is so well-organized, and the instructors are patient, encouraging, and truly know how to bring out the best in every child. They’ve created a safe, welcoming space where kids feel comfortable expressing themselves and trying new things.
 

Our son absolutely loves the movie-making classes: he comes home excited, inspired, and always asking for more. We’re so grateful for the care, creativity, and passion they put into everything they do. This place is a gem."

Get Started Today

Every program is designed so kids can explore, create, and perform while developing confidence, collaboration, and creativity.
