Santo Rico Kids

For more information about our children's program, click here

In September 2003, the Santo Rico Kids dance program opened its doors to a class of just six children. As word of this new program spread, the class size slowly grew and by March 2005- with a group of 25 children and two completed choreographies- The Santo Rico Kids performance team was born. The added exposure gained from The Santo Rico Kids’ participation in various public events resulted in an increase in the number of children joining the program. With the growing class sizes and the increasing talent of the students, it soon became evident that the program was ready to expand to include a second performance team, Las Santoriquitas, who made their debut in December 2005. Today, Santo Rico Kids dance program has evolved to become a community of friends who learn from and support one another. Our classes have an enrollment of over 80 children, ages 4-15, who travel from as far away as Connecticut; and our performance teams have participated in numerous events, including:
