Junior Assembly was founded in 1940 by Pearl C. Porter and a group of mothers who wanted to give their children the opportunity to learn ballroom dance and social etiquette. Ann Berry and her family carried on this tradition from 1969 to 2019, shaping it into the beloved program it is today. For 85 consecutive years, Junior Assembly has been held at various locations throughout central Phoenix.

​

Many children at this age feel shy in social settings. At Junior Assembly, we provide a welcoming environment that fosters poise, confidence, and consideration for others.

​

From November through February, children attend classes where they gain social awareness, practice good manners, and develop kindness and graciousness. Through dance and etiquette instruction, they become comfortable conducting themselves with confidence in social situations.

​

We love working with the children and strive to create an enjoyable, encouraging experience. Before long, they participate with self-assurance, finding Junior Assembly both fun and rewarding. Their growth throughout the season is truly remarkable!

​

We invite you to join us for the upcoming season and introduce your child to the joy of dancing.
