classes

We encourage all students, age seven and older to take at least two classes weekly to ensure maximum benefit from their training. This is the normal standard in all professionally oriented dance schools. It is recommended, but not mandatory. Quality teaching remains in all classes; every student deserves the same high level of teaching and attention, regardless of their dance goals!
