Dance classes

In our dance classes, you will build confidence, strength and balance while learning a variety of dance forms and discovering creative self-expression. All skill levels are welcome in our non-competitive, learning-focused dance classes.

Dance classes are coming this fall.

Benefits of learning dance


Learning dance will help you move your body to its full potential and build your confidence, strength, balance and flexibility. You will feel the rhythm of the music and learn why music plays an important role in dance.

Dance is a form of expression and communication that has been present in cultures around the world for thousands of years.

By immersing yourself in dance and losing yourself in the music, you can begin to feel more present in the moment and leave your worries behind.
