2023-2024 Recreational Dance Classes

Recreational classes resume
September 11, 2023

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

This dance extravaganza is filmed in the studio or on location in costumes with full lights and production. Then we edit the dance videos all together into a movie you can share online with a private link.

Spring Recital

Our 2023-2024 Spring Recital will be a live show in front of an audience this year. This will give dancers an opportunity to feel the excitement (and nerves) of performing in front of a live audience!

To keep costs down and easier to manage, we rent costumes to each dancer rather than making you purchase them.

If you choose, your showcase fees and costume rental fees can be broken down and added to your monthly tuition.
