Class Descriptions:
*Ages are as of Fall 2025. Ages for elementary through high school students are rough estimates based more on previous dance experience and levels. If you are coming to us from another studio and have previous dance experience, we may suggest setting up a Dance Placement so that we can place you in a class where you will feel happy, challenged, and inspired! Dance Placement is held in a positive, fun, and self-esteem building environment.
