About the Dance Program

The School of Art provides a broad, community-based dance program with classes ranging from dance appreciation to a pre-professional curriculum. Classes for children, teens and adults are offered in ballet, jazz, tap and modern dance. A pre-ballet introduction to dance for younger students covers the basics of movement and music. Fundamentals of ballet and jazz give students the necessary foundation to begin pursuing more complicated and refined elements of dance.

Jazz classes employ a variety of styles and music to help students realize their potential in technique and expression. Dance students are given special opportunities to work with and observe visiting guest artists. Master classes in ballet, jazz and modern dance are also offered.
