Our performance programs are for students who want to learn to dance and stay active. These classes are perfectly suited for students who love to move, have fun and socialize but can only commit to an hour or two of training each week. Students do not need previous dance experience to enroll in our performance programming and can begin taking classes at any age.
The performance program will teach students movement fundamentals and basic technique through fun, age-appropriate activities.
Our performance program classes are specifically geared towards children ages 5 - 18.
Each class is broken into levels;
Mini - Ages 5 - 6
Petite - Ages 7 - 10
Junior - Ages 10 - 13
Teen - Ages 13 + Up
