The Micro Mini Difference
Designed for girls and boys ages 5-8, this program provides young dancers with an exciting introduction to competitive dance while preserving the joy, imagination, and love of movement that makes childhood dance so special.
At VDC, we believe strong foundations create exceptional dancers. More importantly, we believe dance helps children build confidence, friendships, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
