Welcome to our Rising Stars Division! We are excited to see our dancers each week and cant wait to see them grow throughout the year. Our teachers are committed to creating fun dances that educate and inspire the dancers.
Boys are welcome to try our FREE 3-5 year old class! This class is ALL boy, they even bring their cars to class. Imagine the fun when your son realizes he can dance to Bob the Builder and learn cool moves like the dump truck and the fire engine! Discover it for yourself on Wednesdays.
If your dancer is interested in learning more skills, we recommend our technique classes that are open to all dancers on Friday nights. Technique classes build on skills learned in class and add a new layer of difficulty. They are perfect for the dancer that may be interested in Competition Teams in the future.
This class is designed to encourage awareness and use of basic motor skills, learn rhythm and timing, and to increase attention span, hand and foot coordination, and flexibility. Students in this class must have a parent or guardian in the building during class time.
