RECREATIONAL CLASSES

Our recreational program offers students of all ages the opportunity to experience dancing and singing classes from a team of educated and qualified instructors. Students attend class every week and perform in our year-end recital in June. Additional highlights include performances in our annual Christmas Cheer Week and participation in various studio-wide events throughout the year. These classes are well suited for students who enjoy dance on a recreational basis or performers looking for an introduction to the performing arts.

 

All our recreational dancers will be able to shine on stage at our very own Stars of Tomorrow Dance Festival! All dancers enrolled in Level 2, 3 or 4 classes will participate in a special Stars of Tomorrow session, receiving professional adjudicator feedback and memorable keepsakes. This involvement will provide dancers with an additional performance opportunity, an accelerated learning environment, and an emphasis on building confidence, creativity, and technique.
