Youth Program
About the Youth Program
We have expanded our youth program to encompass two different areas:
-
General Youth dance classes
-
Performance-based dance classes (with performances twice annually)
For kids wanting to perform and attend the performance classes, the prerequisite is the Youth Movement and Dance Essentials class on Mondays at 4:15 pm, Saturdays at 9:30 am, or the Latin and Ballroom Drills class on Wednesdays at 4:30 pm. Kids must be enrolled in at least 1 class per week, or multiple, to move into the performance class.
