Introductory dance classes lay the foundation for future study in dance by developing coordination, rhythm, balance, creative expression, self-confidence and respect for self and others in the studio classroom. Students who fit the age range by the first of the month at the start of each session (September 1, January 1, June 1) may enroll regardless of experience.
All students enrolled in our introductory dance classes during the Winter/Spring Session have the opportunity to participate in the SSA Dance Showcase held each year on the weekend following Mother's Day. Please note that students participate at an age-appropriate level, so rehearsal and stage time for students younger than eight years old may be shorter compared to older students.
