Through our youth
programs, we strive to provide the best dance experience for you and
your children. We offer a well rounded curriculum designed to expose
students to the diverse world of dance. Our younger students explore
the many physical, artistic and creative skills inherent in learning
dance. For older children and teens, specific technique classes
teach the basics of ballet, jazz, tap, modern, hip hop and other
dance forms to provide the solid background needed for the dance
enthusiast. Our Youth
Dance Ensemble Program provides a structured training program
for aspiring dancers interested in making dance a primary focus, and
our
youth dance companies
provide opportunities to aspiring young performers.
(C) = Concert Class,
will perform in the annual Youth Spring Concert 2008.
