Does Your Kid Want To Be A Ninja Warrior?
Brooklyn Ninja Academy is the place! Located in Park Slope/Gowanus, on 4th Avenue across from JJ Byrne Park, Brooklyn Ninja Academy offers exciting and unique after school and weekend ninja warrior obstacle training classes for kids ages 6-13.
Kids learn techniques to conquer fun and challenging ninja warrior obstacles, just like on TV’s American Ninja Warrior. Our certified ninja coaches have even appeared on the show, and they ensure all ninjas are safe and properly guided. Besides being the most fun kids can have while exercising, the sport of ninja warrior develops upper body strength, agility and balance, core strength, growth, and improvement for kids of all skill levels, while they’re having the time of their lives.
Brooklyn Ninja’s progressive program teaches participants how to overcome different ninja warrior obstacles each week, and provides confidence building and excitement to take on the next progression. There’s no better feeling than the ultimate thrill of hitting the buzzer at the end of an obstacle course, complete with exciting sound effects and lights!
Birthday parties, summer camps, private lessons, and school group events are also offered.

The School at the Mark Morris Dance Center offers year-round, community-based dance and music programming in a fully inclusive and nurturing environment, located in the heart of the Brooklyn Cultural District. We believe Dance is for Anybody!
The School’s diverse and professional faculty provides progressive and non-competitive instruction with classes accompanied by live music. We are an intentionally non-recital school with a student-centered, culturally responsive instructional approach based on our core values of Artistic Excellence, Creativity, Community, and Access.
The School is split into two divisions:
• The Early Childhood Program (ages newborn through 6 years)
• The Children and Teen Program (ages 6 through 18)
We are dedicated to fostering an environment where everyone feels welcome and can thrive creatively. We commit to ensuring all classes, camps and workshops are inclusive for individuals with and without disabilities.
We hope to welcome your family to our school during our 2026-2027 academic year!
