Our dance program is no exception.

We have fun but also learn techniques and proper terms and progress to become “star” dancers.

Recital is secondary to the educational experience your child gets out of our program.

Our dance program helps your child become well rounded with a positive self-esteem.

Recreational Dance Program

Starlets, Collage, Sampler, & Elite
These are tap, ballet, and jazz classes for both boys and girls ages 6 and up. Advancement in the levels is not based on age. The dance instructor will determine when any student is ready for advancement base on their skill level.

Class structure centers on learning tap, ballet, and jazz techniques and remembering sequencing in dance routines and combinations. We encourage students to take all three disciplines to better themselves to become well-rounded dancers. If for some reason tap or jazz is not what you want to take, you can opt out of that discipline, but ballet is mandatory at each level.

At the end of the school year session, there will be an optional recital to showcase what the students have learned throughout the year. Students who wish to participate in the recital will need to pay an additional recital fee and will need to purchase all costumes for their dance level.
