JUST FOR PETITES AND MINIS...
IT'S MINI MAYHEM AT DECADANCE!
Our annual dance convention day designed just for ages nine and under.
DECAdance proudly hosts a signature event each October just for minis and petites. Dancers under the age of nine have a full convention day dedicated to their age group called DECAdance MINI MAYHEM.
Halloween costumes are worn, giggles abound, and most importantly - we create a schedule that accommodates this particular age group. With shorter classes and bonus breakout sessions to break up the day, these young dancers get to learn, stretch their creative muscles and bop around to their own beat under the loving guidance of our staff. (ICYMI, most of our staff are parents to children under the ages of 5. Our staff and the faculty we hire for this particular event are all very familiar with how to best support this age group!)
We feature surprise special guests, like Heather Booysen, author of Marley Takes The Stage, pictured here giving our 2023 Mini Mayhem guests their very own book reading!
We order plenty of pizza, offer surprise bonus activities and of course - we host a huge dance party at the end of the day (seriously, does it get any better?).
Held in the Edison, NJ area every October, Mini Mayhem is one of our favorite days of the year. This year's Mini Mayhem event is set for October 27th, 2024 at the Hilton Garden Inn Edison. We cap this event at 50 dancers to ensure the best experience for all of our attendees.

Although this event for dancers aged 9 and under has a different schedule than our other "un"conventions, it's still built with that DECAdifference flair.

Halloween costumes are worn, giggles abound, and our guest teachers are carefully selected so that our youngest dancers have classes with educators who specifically work with this age group.

Featuring live music and genres paired together for a very intentional artistic experience, New Jersey's "un"convention is going to be really special this year. Sessions may include ballet and Bollywood paired together, Latin and jazz, or African dance and tap dance. Students will be stretched - both literally and figuratively - outside their comfort zone! Anatomy-based education will start the day and each teacher will share expertise with dancers in a way that empowers them to continue practicing long after the day is through.
We are so excited to debut this experience with live music, in partial tribute to Andrea Mychaels who we lost in 2024. Andrea was an original DECA team member who also sang with big bands and rock bands across the tri-state area. We'll honor her with an epic day of dedication, education, creativity and artistry in Somerset, NJ.

This schedule is currently being built but will include two of the following styles: Bollywood, Latin and/or African dance classes in addition to genres like hip hop, contemporary, jazz and tap dance. Dancers will be sent home with practices to apply to their technical training and engage in strength and conditioning that empowers them to know and understand their bodies a little better when the day is through.
