Recreational Program

In our Recreational Program, children and teens will focus on developing safe and adequate dance technique, while experiencing a fun, enthusiastic and supportive environment. We believe that giving dancers equal training and opportunity fosters a love and understanding of dance. In our Recreational Program, students learn technique, terminology, performance, choreography and everything else that dance provides.

All of our Recreational Program classes run from September to June and we welcome new students to join in the fun at any time. We end our dance year with a
 recital performance on stage where all of our Recreational Program students perform for family and friends! 

Acro - 5+yrs
This class is all about contortion, balance and tricks! If your child loves to roll, flip and be upside down, this is definitely the class for them! All Acro classes have a strong focus on building strength and proper technique to be able to safely learn and perform new tricks and skills throughout the season.
​
