The best dance style for your child often matches their personality. Outgoing kids may love jazz or hip hop, while creative or detail-focused children often enjoy ballet or lyrical styles.
• Ballet – Builds discipline, strength, and posture. • Jazz – Fun and upbeat with lots of personality. • Hip Hop – Energetic and expressive — great for kids who love music. • Tap – Perfect for rhythm and coordination. • Lyrical/Contemporary – Encourages creativity and emotion in movement.
Parent Tip - Let your child's personality guide your choice - confidence grows fastest when they're having fun!
At HDF, our preschoolers begin with Ready Set Dance, which blends jazz, tap, and hip hop. This helps parents and children discover which styles they love most. If you’re unsure, start broad — your child will naturally gravitate toward what inspires them.
