summer 2025
This summer, we are offering a 4 week Summer Session of classes during the month of June.
These classes will be geared towards more beginner students and divided by age. Our hope in offering this is to allow students to try something new and continue to develop their artistry.
The classes will be offered throughout the week like our regular year-long classes. We're planning to offer the classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the weeks of
June 2nd-5th
June 16th-19th
June 23rd-27th
June 30th-July 3rd
Stay tuned for registration opening to see class times and offerings!
We will also offer classes specific to our Dance Company dancers, to continue their training.
If your child has a higher level of dance training and would like to train with our dancers over the summer, please email [email protected] for more information.
