2024-2025 Recreational Dance Classes

Register now for Recreational classes
running September 2024 - May 2025

Ages 2-3

Your toddler will be introduced to the foundations of dance in a creative, playful environment. Each dance class focuses on the basic elements of dance and movement which are taught in a positive and encouraging way. We use props to engage and teach fundamentals creatively and learn many short dances each session.

Ages 4-6

Classes start with warm-up exercises and stretches to get mind, muscles and body ready. Next we build dance technique, strength, balance and grace. We will also learn choreographed dances to both classical and popular music.

Ages 7-9

Warm-up exercises and stretches get the mind and body ready, then we jump into technique. These classes build on dance basics as well as introduce more complicated tricks and movements. Longer and more difficult choreographed dances to many genres of music help develop muscle memory and dance move recall.

Ages 10-13 & 14-17

Dancers warm up with exercises and stretching at the beginning of each class. Technique focuses on making sure fundamentals are correct, strong and well developed, as well as pushing dancers toward new and more difficult moves. Choreography combinations blend all learning together and enhance development.

Adults

Classes start with warm-up exercises and stretches to get mind, muscles and body ready. Choreographed dances to many different types and styles of songs incorporate new moves with fundamentals so dancers can learn and progress at a pace they are comfortable with.

Showcases!

We have two huge shows each year: our Holiday Showcase and Spring Recital. Showcases and Recitals are an opportunity to highlight all the hard work and fun of the dance season is a great way to help each dancer feel special, supported and confident.

Holiday Showcase – December

Each student has the opportunity to participate in our annual Holiday Showcase, a professionally filmed feature-length movie. The showcase is filmed at the end of November with professional lighting and equipment. We premiere the film on the big screens at Cineplex in mid-December, making it a truly memorable experience for dancers, friends, and family.

Spring Recital – May

In the spring, students perform on stage at our Spring Recital, held at Ursuline College Chatham. Dancing under the lights in front of an adoring audience, your child will gain valuable stage experience and confidence.
