Recreational Program Approach

In our Recreational classes, the season is thoughtfully split into two parts:

Fall (Sept–Dec): Skill-building, technique training, and learning fun combinations
Winter–Spring (Jan–June): Continued technique + Recital choreography

After our June Recital, we offer a vibrant Summer Session (July–August) for continued growth, exploration, and fun!
