Jam on Dumbo
Superfine, 126 Front Street near Pearl Street
OK, so this is a concert series, not a class. Still, if your kids want to dance until they drop, Jam on Dumbo's concerts are a good place to do that!

Families can rock out to kid-friendly groups like the Rockdoves and Still Saffire, and also enjoy face painting, balloons and a special kids' menu.
