Why Dance in the Summer?
Summer is the perfect time for dancers to immerse themselves in their dance training, free of distractions.  They can choose to  maintain the technique they worked so hard to achieve throughout the year,  get a jump on the next level or even accelerate their dancing with concentrated training in our Dance Intensive.  We offer a variety of dance classes for all ages and levels!
