Live to Dance? 7 Kid-Friendly Performances to Watch

There are many reasons we don’t take our kids to dance performances: expensive tickets, tantrum potential, and post-bedtime start times. So yes, your tiny dancer has been leaping, twirling, and tip-toeing at classes all around town, but seeing an actual dance performance is still on the to-do list. Time to check one off! These dance companies welcome kids in the (matinee) audience, offer affordable tickets and sometimes even offer a chance to dance with the professionals.

The Andrea Miller-inspired and Brooklyn-based dance company Gallim Dance offers monthly open rehearsal performances. These free events are open to the public, and particularly to families, as a way to expose the community to art being made in Brooklyn. The studio also offers weekly adult classes for $10-$13, in case you're inspired to twirl a bit, too.
