Recreational Dance
Dance is great for many reasons.... our personal favorite is that you can meet your lifelong friends here!
"When I'm Dancing on Stage All is Right in the World "
Recreational classes start the day after labor day and end late May with our annual Recital. Registration is open from July-October 31st. We start in September learning class structure and the fundamentals of the style. As our season continues we focus on a choreographed routine that we practice with the class until our big show. We offer a Christmas performance to all dancers that we hold in a local auditorium for families to enjoy before break.

What We Offer:
Fall Season- This season starts in September and runs through May. We start working on their foundation and technique and skills and then prepare them for our annual Dance Recital in the Spring. They receive 9 months of training in the classes they register for.
January Registration- Some dancers cannot join until after the holidays as they're in other sports or activities or dancers are finally of age to start dance. We open up our fall season for new students to be able to participate in our Spring Recital. This gives them 5 months of training in the classes they register for.
Summer Season- This is a great time to get into the studio and "Just Dance". In our summer season we focus on offering a variety of classes for all ages. It is a great time to start dance or try different styles before committing to the full season. Summer is one of the most fun times at the dance studio as there are exciting unique classes or camps that keep our students inspired. We offer Punch cards in the summer and you can try multiple styles.

Dancers have started in our creative movement beginner classes, moved onto level 1 classes and then onto level 2. Our classes are determined mainly on how old the student is so that dancers can be with kids their own age. If they are new to dance and starting out, we recommend the level 2 classes and we make a point of catching them up to that level. This way they can enjoy their experience.
