OUR PROGRAM: If you enter a typical children’s dance class you might see Ballet Barres, tight buns, and teachers wagging their fingers for students to straighten their knees. For many young dancers the wonderful fantasy of starting dance is quickly replaced by discipline and uncomfortable positions. While dance can be quite hard work and requires much dedication and yes-discipline, Little Leapers

offers a different and unique approach to children’s dance classes. WHAT IS LITTLE LEAPERS?: We are a curriculum based children’s dance program offered throughout the United States. Our program will enrich the lives of every student with the use of movement and literacy to help them develop as not only as a dancer, but a student. Our curriculum foster’s every child’s imagination and love for dance through movement, play, costumes and props. In a Little Leapers class, students learn fun stretches in a playful way. They learn all of their proper dance terms while fantasizing, creating, or acting out scenarios. They also learn how dance is a way to communicate without using words. The most popular part of the class, is story time. Each week the students sit as the teacher reads a classic tale. They then get dressed up in lovely costumes and follow the teacher as they reenact the story to beautiful and theatrical music. Using their newly learned dance moves, and fun props children are quickly whisked away to a world of magic and play all while learning.

Does your little dancer dream of becoming a prima ballerina?

This summer, Little Leapers is bringing the magic of ballet to life with our Prima Ballerina Camp!

Prima Ballerina Camp
June 8–12, 2026
Blacksburg & Roanoke
9:00 AM–12:00 PM
Ages 3–8
Cost: $200

Join us as we follow the story of The Secrets of the Prima Ballerina, written by our very own Miss Heather!

Dancers will journey through a magical forest as they discover what makes up a ballerina — from the special shoes they wear, to their beautiful costumes, to the ballet steps and movements that bring the story to life.

This camp is designed to feel like our “big kid” dance intensives, but created especially for younger dancers. Each day includes a ballet class, variation-style lesson, creative movement, and fun activities that help dancers build confidence, coordination, and ballet skills.

Campers will also learn ballet etiquette in a fun, age-appropriate, and engaging way, while still enjoying all the magic and imagination Little Leapers is known for.

At the end of the week, families will be invited to watch their dancer perform in their very own Prima Ballerina show!

If your child loves ballet, tutus, storytelling, and dancing through a little bit of magic, this camp is the perfect fit.
