WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RECREATIONAL CLASSES AND RECITAL CLASSES?
Our Recital Class program is a 30-class session that progresses and prepares dancers for a recital at the conclusion of the session in May. The program ensures that dancers are confident and stage ready while encouraging dancers to have fun and build their understanding of dance throughout the school year.

Recreational Classes are a 9 class session that provides dancers an introduction to dance: these classes DO NOT perform but conclude with a parent observation on the final class.
