My child is shy or doesn't speak Spanish. Is that OK?

Absolutely. Classes are bilingual, so no Spanish is needed, and our songs and games help little ones warm up at their own pace.

Can I stay and watch?

Yes! Parents are welcome to stay and watch.

We already go to a studio.

Little Brincos replaces the commute, not the fun. Many families add it to their week or swap it in.

What if we miss a class?

Plans change. If we cancel, we reschedule at no extra cost. Closed days aren't billed. If the building, school or teacher has a scheduling conflict, we reschedule at no extra cost. If DC Public Schools close for weather, we reschedule at no extra cost. Families can make up one class a month with 24 hours' notice.

Do I need a big space to host Plan Brinco?

A cleared living room is enough. We bring the music and props.

What if only a few kids sign up?

Groups open once 3 children sign up, and we keep them small: up to 8 children per teacher. Hosts who invite friends get a special thank-you from us.

Little Brincos is truly amazing Ms. Ana works so well with kids of all ages, encouraging movement, curiosity, and trying new things. She teaches in English and Spanish, encouraging her students in every way. I know that when mt kids are with her, they are learning, active, and safe. I can't recommend Little Brincos enough.

Ms. Ana brings so much energy and beauty to her dance classes - and into the work my daughters have done with her - now for a full year. My older daughter (aged almost-nine) has worked on everything from ballet to rhythmic modern dance under her instruction. Ms. Ana always lets the students craft a large portion of their dance routines - with expert help and guidance, of course.

5 stars for Miss Ana's classes! My children absolutely loves her classes, and it is easy to see why. She has such a fun, engaging way of connecting with kids and somehow turns any space into an exciting place to move, play, and learn. I am so grateful for the creativity, energy, and confidence she brings to every class.
