Who can dance?
You can! If you haven't heard yet, we believe dance is for everyone regardless of age, body, or gender and that is why we have classes and programs for students ages 18 months through adult. Learn about each of our programs below and book a trial to experience all we have to offer!
Dance for Adults
Adults dance too!
Our adult dance program offers a variety of adult dance classes from beginner to intermediate in ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap, and hip hop!
Our goal in our adult dance classes is to empower adult students, help them reconnect with their self, and find joy! Dance is one of the best forms of physical exercise to reduce stress. And while you are reconnecting with your self you will also develop body awareness, coordination, length and increased mobility and flexibility.
Our adult dance classes run in 6 week sessions and you can join in at any time. Visit our adult dance page to learn more.
