At Dance Theme, we strive to provide programming to meet every student’s needs. From the student who wants to learn the art of dance once a week, to those wanting an intense focus on dance competing at a high level, we offer a program for all dancers. With Dance Theme’s blend of incredible training in a fun and positive environment, dancers are encouraged to reach their personal goals.
The programs are structured so that every student is challenged at the appropriate level to meet their needs and desires.
These programs have no performing obligations and are a great way to introduce your child to dance without the commitment of purchasing special class wear and costumes. The programs are taught by knowledgeable instructors and provide a great learning experience in a fun environment! The last class of the program is a viewing class where parents are invited to watch what the students have learned.
Three sessions throughout the season: Fall, Winter, Spring
