Watch your child's independence and confidence soar, as our dancers explore and discover the benefits of a more structured dance class. Following directions, waiting for our turn, and collectively problem-solving will encourage emotional and social development. Live singing, musical play, and sensory props will have these little ones moving and grooving with their friends and eager to return to class each week! Please wear comfortable clothing and bare feet.

Dance Parties are a condensed, one-day session of dance technique, movement games, crafts, a mini-performance and much more! Participants of all levels are encouraged to get involved through these camp-style classes that are designed to help participants fill their evening with fun, educational, and movement-oriented programming. Wear comfortable form-fitted clothing, dance shoes or bare feet. Feel free to dress to match the theme too! Please bring a water bottle.

Ballet/Tap Combo is the most popular combo for dancers. Classes include stretches, barre work, class etiquette, basic technique of each style, games and learning choreography in both ballet and tap. Please wear a leotard, tights, or comfortable form-fitted clothing, and ballet/tap shoes. 

Dance Performance Groups offer current dancers the chance to experience additional performance opportunities while being part of a team-focused environment. All participants must also be enrolled in a weekly technique class. Rehearsals focus on team bonding and choreography, with each group learning one routine to be performed in one to three events, with dates and times to be announced.

This studio program is rooted in the Park District’s communityfocused culture and is open to dancers of all ages and experience levels who are seeking a more progressive session with a higher level of commitment. Participants will engage in core studio-level dance classes designed to support growth and skill development in a structured, encouraging environment.
