This summer, Minni is thrilled to partner with Urbanity Dance to bring a joyful blend of movement, music, and art to the South End. Together, we’ve created a dynamic program where young artists split their day between Urbanity’s engaging dance classes and Minni’s hands-on art and design projects. The result is a full day of creativity designed for curious kids who love to move, make, and explore.
One of the things I’m most excited to share this season is the launch of our Tuition Assistance Program.

Over the past year, Minni has been through a lot of change. We consolidated, refocused, and worked hard behind the scenes to build a stronger foundation for the future. It was a bit of a roller coaster at times, but we ended the year in a much healthier place. Now, we’re feeling more committed than ever to what Minni was created to do: make creative education accessible to as many children as possible.

This season invites moments of quiet togetherness - perfect for sharing stories that feel a little magical, a little mysterious, and full of wonder.
