ABOUT

All children benefit from dance as it develops their self-esteem and confidence while they explore their creative potential. We believe in a positive approach to teaching as students enjoy being challenged with age-appropriate skills in a non-competitive setting. Working with music, movement, rhythm and memory impacts and broadens all parts of your daily life.

A $15.00 late fee will be charged for late payments, after the first week of each session. Holidays are not part of the 4-week session, so there may be some sessions that are 5, or 6 weeks long to account for the holidays during that session.
