    Introductory Dance Classes

    These classes are geared towards young, beginner dancers. The goal is to help kids build a strong dance foundation while having fun and staying active. We also have a toddler and caregiver dance class, see our preschool programs for more information.

    Little Stars

    Looking to introduce dance to your little one? This class does just that by providing an introduction to movement with music for Dance.

    Each class is designed to teach the basics of dance in a fun and encouraging atmosphere while introducing students to a class setting. Through movement the students learn about their bodies, the space around them, and how music brings that together.
