Welcome to our School of Dance. We have expanded our dance classes to offer you more variety and time selections. We are now offering classes for ages 18 months through Adult. Dance classes offer your child a chance to develop grace, poise, self confidence, flexibility and coordination. Each dance level
re-enforces skills and introduces new steps throughout the year. Attendance is strongly suggested for the upper levels classes and punctuality is important to ensure the child is properly warmed up at the beginning of class.
You must register before each session to reserve a place in class. For each level, dancers must be the appropriate age to enroll. Exceptions to age requirements are rare and are made at the discretion of the instructor. Your instructor will advise you when your child is ready to move up to the next level. With the exception of the Dance with Me class, classes are closed to parents/caregivers to ensure quality learning and instruction.

Please note: If a class is full, please put your child’s name on our waiting list so we can accommodate you with more classes!
