Dance Class Policies
Parents are discouraged from observing dance classes. Even little ones will focus better if the parent is not in the room. Dance is a serious discipline at any age, and dancers can be easily distracted. We will schedule special parent days so you can observe the progress your child has made.
We are very excited about the dance program scheduled for the season. Our dance instructors are experienced in the latest dance techniques, body conditioning, and performance! We are delighted with the talent and expertise these instructors bring to the dance program. We continue to inspire
excellence in all our activities; a tradition the Arts Center has always provided.
To get a better understanding of our dance classes and their content please read the class schedule.
Please feel free to call if you need help determining which class your child should attend. Parents encourage your sons to participate in movement classes. They increase skill levels for soccer, football, etc. Dance develops balance, strength, and rhythm!
Most importantly, we want our dancers to have fun, enjoy the process of learning, and still have a life outside of dance.
