We have kids dance classes for students as young as 3 years old; Classes in Ballet, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Tap, Musical Theatre, plus, combination classes for young children and Boy’s classes.
At The Dance Connection our kids dance classes are designed to be rewarding, fun and educational. These three things are what we focus on. Rewarding, because every child deserves to reach their potential and feel like they’ve accomplished something. Fun, because learning is easier when it’s fun. And educational, because the children deserve to learn proper technique by a qualified instructor.
All our kids dance classes are taught by highly qualified professionals. They are experts in their field and understand the needs of their students and the requirements of the artform. Get a more in depth look at our programs below.
