CHILDREN’S DANCE CLASSES

Discover the Joy of Dance at DanceWorks!

Dance is more than just movement, it’s an opportunity for children to build confidence, creativity, coordination, and lifelong skills in a fun and supportive environment. Our classes help develop strength, balance, musicality, listening skills, and classroom etiquette while encouraging friendships and a love of learning.

At DanceWorks Performing Arts, we offer a wide variety of classes for every age, interest, and energy level. Whether your child is taking their very first dance class or looking to grow their skills, our welcoming instructors will help them feel comfortable, confident, and excited to dance.

Tiny Ballet (Ages 3 – 5) Primary Ballet (Ages 5 – 8) PreBallet (Ages 6 – 9)

Every great ballerina starts with a first plié! Our ballet classes provide a fun, encouraging introduction to dance while building confidence, coordination, and a love of movement. Tiny Ballet is perfect for little dancers taking their very first class! Through imaginative activities, music, and creative movement, children learn basic ballet positions, classroom etiquette, listening skills, and coordination—all while having lots of fun. In Primary & PreBallet they begin learning the fundamentals of classical ballet, including body alignment, foot positions, turns, jumps, and traveling steps. These classes build strength, grace, and confidence while providing a strong technical foundation for future ballet training.

Twirl, Twist & Tap (3 – 5) Ballet, Tap & Jazz (5-8)

Can’t decide on just one dance style? Why not try three!

Our combination classes are a favorite for young dancers because they experience a little bit of everything in one exciting class. Dancers begin with the grace of ballet, explore the energy and excitement of jazz, and finish with the fun rhythms of tap dance. It’s the perfect way for children to discover what they love while developing coordination, musicality, confidence, and creativity.

These classes are ideal for first-time dancers who are ready to jump, twirl, tap, and have fun every week!

Jumpin’ Jazz (5-8) & Jazz lvls 1-7 (8 – 18)

Jazz is an energetic, technique-based class that builds strength, flexibility, coordination, and confidence. Dancers develop skills through warm-ups, stretching, across-the-floor progressions, turns, leaps, kicks, and dynamic choreography. With levels progressing from 1-7, students continue to challenge themselves while having fun in a high-energy environment.

Lyrical for Littles (5-8) & Contemporary/Lyrical (9-18)

Contemporary/Lyrical blends the technique of ballet with the versatility and expression of contemporary dance. Dancers develop strength, flexibility, musicality, and artistry while learning turns, extensions, floor work, and expressive choreography. This class encourages students to connect movement with emotion while building a strong technical foundation.
