YOUTH DANCE
All youth dance classes follow a set curriculum to help provide each dancer the training for their age and skill level. Classes are taught in a creative, fun and positive environment. Our goal is to encourage each student to express their inner dancer through the art of movement. Dancers build strength, flexibility, balance, confidence, body awareness, self-control and discipline through movement.
All dance classes, except Wiggles and Giggles, invite only students into the dance studio during class time. We find that students focus and have the greatest opportunity for learning with just the instructor. For this reason, we designate the last day of every dance session as Parent Observation Day. You are welcome to observe your child’s progress on this day. Thank you for your cooperation.
Recreation Dance classes offer a wide selection of stylized movement. It is a great way to find a dance style and class that meets your dancer’s needs through a short commitment.
