About our Kids Programming

Welcome to Blue8: Where Movement Fuels the Imagination

At Blue8, we believe in the power of movement to inspire and uplift children of all ages. Our kids' programming is designed to nurture creativity, build confidence, and create a sense of community—all while having fun!

Guided by Passion and Expertise

Under the leadership of Program Director Caitlin Geier, our experienced Blue8 Faculty bring a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to every class. We are committed to providing top-tier instruction that combines technical excellence with artistic exploration, ensuring that every child, regardless of age or experience, feels empowered to shine.

Unlock Potential, Embrace Creativity

Blue8 students aren't just learning dance and movement—they're discovering the joy of self-expression. Our thoughtfully designed classes encourage children to push their limits, explore their unique potential, and enjoy a practice they eagerly anticipate each week. Whether they dream of the stage or simply want to enjoy the art form recreationally, our mindful approach equips them with the skills to pursue their passions with confidence, creativity, and respect for others.

Connecting Mind, Body, and Spirit

At Blue8, we aim to create a harmonious connection between mind, body, and spirit through the art of movement. Our holistic approach not only teaches dance but also fosters personal growth, teamwork, and a deep respect for the art of movement.

Classes are located at 4300 W Jefferson Blvd. #2, Los Angeles, CA 90016.

Class Descriptions

Dance: 

Ballet: Our goal for the Ballet classes is to impart the fundamentals of classical ballet technique while emphasizing the importance of self-expression! Class will focus on basic ballet technique, proper body alignment, positions, French terminology, self-discipline, self-confidence, emotional connection and musicality. Students progress by level, practicing fundamental barre and center work as well as leaps and turns. Ballet is the foundation of all forms of dance, so we suggest ALL of our students be enrolled in at least one ballet class to get the most out of their training. We believe EVERYONE can do ballet!

Contemporary/Lyrical: Students are encouraged to express themselves through movement and given an opportunity to grow as both dancers and artists in this stylized class that combines ballet technique with modern and jazz. Class includes a warm-up, stretch, isolations, floor work, across-the-floor progressions, and combinations. Dancers will focus on full body integration, developing strength and dynamic quality for performance in a creative, energetic, and positive environment. We suggest students pair this class with a ballet class, as ballet is the foundation of all dance!

Jazz: This class teaches students the foundational movement for jazz with a pop twist!  It's a high energy class that includes a warm-up, stretches, isolations, floor work, across-the-floor progressions, and combinations. This is a great class for kids who love pop music and upbeat fun movement! Focus is on self-confidence, technique, rhythm, dynamic movement, and fun choreography in a creative, energetic and positive environment.

Musical Theatre: This 1 hour class trains jazz and dance for musical theatre technique including basic positions, turns, leaps, footwork, group formations and character. Each term, 1 class is dedicated to working with props including chairs, cane, hats etc. Week to week students work on jazz or musical theatre choreography centered around classic-contemporary musical theatre! Great for kids who love jazz, theatre, storytelling and want the ability to train multiple styles. 

Tap: This fun and challenging style of dance promotes a combination of rhythm, timing, and coordination. Kids love the sound their shoes make and build confidence executing new steps and combinations.

Hip Hop: These upbeat and high-energy classes teach the fundamentals of hip hop movement. Stretching, isolations, rhythm, musicality, upper body strength and fun footwork  combine to have your child bopping to the beat! Students will also learn to memorize choreography by working on a combination each class.

Parkour (Jr. and Teen): These classes work on the foundational movement of parkour building strength, confidence, safety techniques, and coordination. Everything is low to the ground on mats and pads inside our studio so students remain safe as they build their strength, skill, and technique in rolls, vaults, precisions, and obstacle course. We love how parkour helps our students problem solve in new ways and  view obstacles as opportunities for creativity. 

Acrobatics: Learn the basics and more in this hour-long Acrobatics class focusing on building strength, confidence, and technique. Handstands, headstands, rolls, cartwheel varieties, backbends, walkovers, aerials and more!

Tiny Dancers Ballet/Tap Combo (Age 3-6): This Tiny Dancers class is for the 3-5 year old who twirls through the house and can't help but move to the music! The focus of this class is an introduction to dance through creative movement in Ballet and Tap. Kids will learn classroom social skills, ballet positions, rhythm, and more in a highly engaging and supportive environment! Class is split in 2 parts. Part one 25 minutes of ballet! Then the kids finish class with an upbeat fun-filled Tap class! Students are required to have Ballet and Tap shoes. 

TIny Dancers Hip Hop Class (Ages 3-6): The Tiny Dancers Hip Hop class inspires kids to live happier, healthier, fuller lives through dance! Students will learn foundational technique, rhythm, footwork, classroom social skills, focus, self confidence and more!

Tiny Dancers Discover Dance (Ages 3-6): This highly interactive dance class introduces your child to dance in a fun, stimulating, atmosphere. Your child will start to learn basic dance movements and terminology with teachers who incorporate early childhood techniques to keep class engaging and magical. The Tiny Dancers Creative movement class is the base for our Ballet/Tap, Hip Hop, acrobatics and parkour classes for ages 3-6.

Tiny Tumblers (Ages 4-7): This high energy 45 minute tumbling class is for your 4-7 year old who loves to climb, roll, and spin.
