The Young Innovators Collective
Dance, Theater, Film & More!
The Young Innovators Collective was created to give new performing artists a hands on learning experience. Kids 3 - 12 can try dance, theater, and/or film in a hands on environment.
Our Cohort Model
While traditional kids classes may have 12+ children, we have designed our classes to run in 8 week sessions within a small cohort of children. This ensures consistency and a place to build community which creates a safe foundation for budding artists.

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. Our goal is to have every child leave our 8 week session with a new friend (or two).
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."
