Spring Dance Classes
Spring Registration is OPEN TODAY!
Most classes will continue as normal, with the addition of Broadway Jazz A where we can give dedicated time to our newer and younger jazz dancers, and reserve Broadway Jazz B for our older or more experienced dancers. Our Pre-Pointe class will move to Thursdays, and push that evening a bit later. Please note the updated times.
