About this Program

Dance for the Love of It

Are you looking for a fun activity that will help your child gain new skills, grow their self-confidence, and make new friends?

Our recreational (non-competitive) dance classes are designed with the beginner in mind — perfect for dancing once a week and performing in our annual Year End Production. Classes meet from September through June and are divided by age. Our combination classes learn a tap routine, plus one additional routine of either ballet or jazz.

Our students love these classes and often return year after year!
