The Young Innovators Collective
Where Young Creators Bring Their Ideas to Life
Creative Dance, Theater, and Film classes for kids in San Diego.
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.

About Our Space
Theater & Film Classes Cal Home Co & Real Estate | 4250 Morena Blvd
Our theater and film classes are held in a cozy urban loft space we rent in the heart of Morena — kid-friendly, warm, and full of creative energy.
Parents have access to an onsite conference room, and The Fruit Stand and Talitha Coffee are within walking distance. Costco is a one-minute drive if you need to sneak in a quick errand.
Dance Classes Movement by La Vie | 1219 Morena Blvd
Dance classes are held at Movement by La Vie, a dedicated dance studio featuring Marley and sprung floors — safe and ideal for young dancers — plus a comfortable waiting room for families.
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.
