I just wanted to share that today I called Tiny Dancers in Fairfax, the owner happened to answer and I cannot say how impressed I was with her "customer service" attitude. She was so patient with my questions and had very descriptive answers about the content of the classes and what to expect. My child has some special needs and I have never placed her in a "typical environment" due to fear of others just thinking she is not well behaved and not understanding she is delayed, she looks like your typical "diva" 4 year old I hung up the phone with joy that I never thought possible 2 years ago. Aside from my personal experience, I have heard very good things about the programs they offer, which is why I called them. If you have a 4 or 5 year old daughter looking for a dance class, I would recommend you look into this organization.
