Welcome to our Dance Program. We have dance classes to accommodate every age dancer. From babies to Adults there is a class to meet your needs. Our dance classes are the perfect way to introduce your child to the world of dance. Each class helps them develop grace, poise, self
confidence, flexibility and coordination. Dance is a great way to try out the different techniques and genres. Dancers must be the appropriate age to enroll in the class. We do recognize that all children develop at different rates and exceptions can be made but are rare and will be at the discretion of the instructor. With the exception of the Dance with Me class, classes are closed to parents/caregivers to ensure quality learning and instruction. Attendance is strongly suggested and punctuality is important to ensure the child is properly warmed up at the beginning of class. 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!
