Back in the day, we quit ballet after finding out we had to wear our hair in a bun. We cried and cried and cried—not sure why that was so traumatizing, but at the time it was. Now, every time we come across some form of tulle, we wonder if it is too late to be a ballerina. For us it is, but for all you’re dance-obsessed children, it isn’t. And lucky for them, Long Island has some of the best dance schools for kids.
Long Islanders Voted Inspirations Performing Arts Centers the Best Children’s Dance School on Long Island!

So, your little one watches shows like Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance, pirouetting and break dancing in front of the TV? Then Inspirations Dance Academy is just the place to get them started. Many students go on to professional careers, but every one of them has fun. Kids of all ages perform in recitals, compete on dance teams, take classes like break dancing, tap, hip hop, lyrical, jazz, latin, ballroom, and if they aren’t terrified of bobby pins, ballet.
