First Steps to Future Stars
At The Pointe Dance Centre the early years are our specialty. (Click here to read our story.) From day one, Miss Helen and Miss Kate have been super passionate about making every child’s first experience of dance magical and memorable!
From our uniform choices (as comfortable and adorable as possible!) to hiring only the best instructors (they gotta have that sparkle) to providing the highest quality programming (Discover Dance, Acrobatic Arts, Royal Academy of Dance) to separate early years recitals (because anything longer than 20 minutes is not okay) — we’re just as excited as you are about your child’s dance journey.
Below you’ll find a ton of information about our classes. Feel free to give us a call to discuss your child’s options anytime: 416-763-1100

Future Stars and Sparkle Stars
4 + years
Our nurturing and creative instructors keep your child captivated and entertained as they begin to learn ballet or acro terminology, choreography and explore dance concepts in greater depth. Social and emotional learning goals also become more complex as your child learns to cooperate, share and develop friendships.
Students may choose one style of dance or take multiple classes per week to learn different styles. Our Future Stars level classes are fantastic on their own or in combination with each other. In the Sparkle Stars program students dance 2 days per week together and learn both styles. Sparkle Stars perform in the Youth Recital at the Randolph Theatre in June. Future Stars perform in our free early years recital at The Pointe in June.
