Recreational Dance Program

As instructors and educators, our dance programs implement life skills that go beyond the dance floor and carry into the world around us. Combining team work, accountability, and positive group reinforcement, dancers work together to fulfill the end of the year performance at recital!

Each classroom is designed to build your dancers skills to reach each personal goal set!
