FAMILY FIRST SATURDAYS ARE 🔙 
Saturday, October 3 | 3:30–5:30 PM

This season, Ballet Afrique is putting FAMILY FIRST.

We believe some of the most meaningful experiences happen when we make time to do things together—learning together, moving together, laughing together, listening to music together, and creating memories that become part of our family story.

That’s why, every First Saturday, we’re opening our studio for Family First Saturdays—a time for our community to come together and experience dance and culture as a family.

3:30–4:30 PM AFRICAN DRUM + AFRICAN DANCE

Bring your youngest family members and take a class together!

4:30–5:30 PM

Bring your teenager, college student, sibling, spouse, parent, or another family member and take class together!

ALL FAMILY FIRST SATURDAY CLASSES ARE FREE!

WHY FAMILY FIRST?

At Ballet Afrique, we are intentionally building a culture where dance extends beyond the individual dancer. We want our families to experience the studio as a place where generations can learn from one another, participate together, and build stronger connections through the arts.

09/21/2026

A studio is more than a room. It is who is in it.

At our Open House you’ll see dancers who are challenged and held at the same time, teachers who lead with both rigor and love, and a community that treats every child’s growth as something worth protecting.

Join us October 1st.

We’d be honored to show you.
