Our 4-Week Summer Session is a short commitment to learn more about us before committing to our yearlong dance program. Class placement for summer classes is much more relaxed. Due to a smaller schedule and less students enrolled in the summer, classes tend to be a bit larger with a wider age range. We are aware many students may be trying dance for the first time, so teachers make modifications for skill level as needed.
