LITTLE BARN'S MISSION
At Little Barn, we believe dance and musical theatre deserve important, beautiful and inspiring spaces with a clever, skill-based curriculum and a strong philosophy to guide us as we journey along the “yellow brick road.”
​
At the heart of our mission is the belief that we are all like the characters in The Wizard of Oz. At times, we may feel unsure of our courage, our intelligence, or our worth—but through challenges, creativity, and connection, we discover that we’ve had those strengths inside us all along.
​
Each day at Little Barn, our dancers, singers, and actors show up bravely to learn something new, make friends, express themselves, and build confidence—one step at a time. With love, structure, joyful repetition and play, we help children grow into resilient, capable artists who know they are Brave, Smart, and Kind… because they’ve lived it, not just heard it.
​
Our nurturing and creative space is connected with nature and filled with magic, movement, and meaning—because the journey matters just as much as the destination.



HOW WE TEACH AT LITTLE BARN


At Little Barn, our philosophy is simple: we don’t teach choreography—we teach dance basics.
​
We believe the fundamentals always come first.
No matter a child’s age, we begin with the foundational steps that build real dancers—not just performers copying movements.
​
We approach dance the way you’d approach reading: first, you learn the alphabet—then you build words, sentences, and stories. Refinement comes with maturity, practice, and repetition.
In the same way, we teach universal steps and qualities of dance through Broadway ballet, theater dance, tap, and popular dance, with fun and clever dances that use lots of repetition and later become part of our shows.
As the dancers grow, the basics become second nature, developing “body intelligence". Then comes more refinement, and we can create more complex choreography as the dancers progress.
When it’s time to perform, they already know the dances from class—focused on dance basics. We don’t focus on perfecting every step. Instead, we give kids the chance to practice, explore, and let their personalities shine. Over time, the steps become second nature. And because they truly understand what they’re doing, they can recognize dance vocabulary wherever they go—because we’ve taught them the language of dance.
​Our founder, Kim, developed this method over decades of trial and error in teaching, and through watching her own son thrive in programs with strong, consistent curriculums. She saw that structure, repetition, and a joyful environment help children grow steadily—and fall in love with dance for life.
​
Our dances are full of heart, energy, and music that kids connect with—from modern musicals like Matilda, Seussical, and Wicked to beloved classics like The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, and 42nd Street.
We often incorporate elements of iconic choreography while staying true to our mission: fun, meaningful movement built on a strong foundation of the basics.

​And because we know children need time to play and be creative, we build in breaks: free dance time, stage play, and art throughout the day.
Our pre-shows come out of those free-time moments—where kids get to perform their own dances, skits, and songs, make announcements, and truly become the stars of the show.
It’s one of our favorite parts—watching with joy as their funny, creative, and confident personalities come to the surface in our performances.






Rainbows, butterflies, lady bugs, birds, the occasional dragonfly (and mystical flying unicorns) capture our imagination - something beyond our reach but present with a song, dance and story. We come alive in our summer farm setting learning, playing and putting on shows till the day is gone when the fireflies appear for their nightly summer shows.
