It was a good fit for us because it was very conveniently located. The instruction level and content were variable - but somehow by the end the kids all seemed to learn something and had fun. The end-of-year show is a racket, but that seems to be true everywhere in DC. Salaa with Silvia at least does a great job if making it feel like a fun-oriented supportive community — not a competition.

Salsa With Silvia 4 Kids is a family-owned dance studio founded by Silvia Alexiev, whose kids program launched in 2016.

About
Ballet & Creative Movement at Salsa with Silvia is an exciting, semester-long dance class for independent little dancers ages 3-4 (no caregivers in the studio), blending the grace of introductory ballet with the freedom of creative movement in a structured yet playful environment. Children learn basic ballet positions, simple steps like plie, tendu, and releve, along with across-the-floor exercises, while exploring imaginative themes, free dance, props, and music. This class participates in the end-of-semester recital production.
